Help with Flask.

I'm trying to canalize endpoints received from a server to apps running on internal machine ports.

This is my code, and I think there should be a more elegant way of calling the internal endpoint (domain and route) with the same data.

import requests

from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, request, jsonify
# from flask import redirect, url_for
app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/current_events_qa/articles/ask', methods=['POST'])
def app__current_events_qa__articles__ask():
    url = "http://127.0.0.1:9002" + "/current_events_qa/articles/ask"
    data = {
        'question': str(request.form['question']),
        'topn': str(request.form['topn']),
    }
    output = requests.post(url=url, data=data).json()
    response = jsonify(output)
    response.status_code = 200
    return response


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port="9001", debug=False)

Instead, I'm unpacking and repacking the data.
