Based on https://github.com/wizardofzos/flask-rest-zos/
Repo for my solutions to Advent of Code. More info: https://adventofcode.com/2024 Wanted to have some extra practice on flask-rest and also do some REXX, some python and maybe some COBOL.
So I've made this REST API that either runs python code, COBOL or REXX and shows the result...
- Python available
- Network connectivity to the outside world
If you need python on your z/OS system, just follow the EPLS installer guide via https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/python-zos/3.10?topic=configuration-installing-configuring-pax-format. Don't let the hardware requirements fool you, it will run on your ZPDT/ZD&T environment without any issues.

Then point your browser to http://<ip_or_dns_of_your_mainframe>:12345/swagger-ui and...
Every endpoint has it's own file in /endpoints.
If you want to do REXX, copy the rexx.py endpoint for that day (copy it to rexxd01p1.py for instance).
Make sure to change the class name to REXXD01P1 (or other) and include that in you aoc.py
(see the comments in the endpoints/__init__.py and aoc.py)
Also make sure to add the new classes to endpoints\__init__.py
Then the rexx also needs to be stored in the rexxes folder. (change path to where you store your rexxess in constants/__init__.py)
