URL limit in Flask

Question

I'm trying creating an API that takes a huge text as input using Flask in python.

When I input a small text it works and I get response [200], However for large text I get response [404] as if the route doesn't exist. How can I get over this?

How long is "long"? Even browsers exhibit some maximum URL length, and any component in between might as well, so it's not advisable to try to use URLs longer than ~1024 characters or so in practice. — deceze

The url has a maximum length limit. I suggest you use the post method and pass the text content as the request body.
If you need Code, just comment and let me know.
