EOSFLARE API Request

Question

I'm trying to test the APIs I've found on eosflare because I need to find some blocks and transactions information for my thesis.

I was wondering if I could retrieve the data without downloading cleos with a simple API Request. I think the API url is someway correct because I get this response when I test it:

r = requests.get('https://api.eosflare.io/v1/eosflare/get_account/')
print(r.status_code)
print(r.headers['content-type'])
print(r.encoding)
print(r.text)

200
application/json; charset=utf-8
utf-8
{"err_code":10,"err_msg":"Error: ($.account: undefined) ✖ (required: true)"}

But when I try to add an account name to solve the previous error, I always get a Not Found response:

r = requests.get('https://api.eosflare.io/v1/eosflare/get_account/yupcreators1')
print(r.status_code)
print(r.headers['content-type'])
print(r.encoding)
print(r.text)

404
text/plain; charset=utf-8
utf-8
Not Found

Thanks in advance for any type of help.

Please see the documentation here:

https://developers.eos.io/manuals/eos/latest/nodeos/plugins/chain_api_plugin/api-reference/index#operation/get_account

You must send the account name in POST request (not a GET)

{"account_name": "nameofaccount"}

Example:

curl -d '{"account_name": "hackerdarwin"}' http://api.eosn.io/v1/chain/get_account
