button to generate html delete method?

button to generate html delete method?



I'm creating a little web app in flask using django and jinja2. I have a

python script running on some servers that generate html post requests,

which then update a mongodb with some info. These then show up on a

dashboard. Easy, i have that working. However, i would like to include a

button on the dashboard to remove them once i've addressed the issue for

that server

in python i know I use

from flask import request

requests.post('http://<myserver>/api", data=some_event_data)

To remove the server I know in python i can use

from flask import request

requests.delete('http://<myserver>:5000/api", data=server_name)

to remove the server and drop it from the database.

...can i have an HTML button do the same thing? I've tried a number of

different things but the button always wants to submit and open

http://:5000/api but that's just an interface listening for data either

with a post or delete method.

Any help would be great
