I want to make a Dynamic URL with flask by reading and matching list of files from a directory

This is my code which reads a specific directory which contains vip1.json, vip2.json, .... vip10.json



@app.route("/<num>", methods=['GET','POST'])
def vip(num):

for filenames in os.listdir('C:/pytest/submitted_form_data'):
if filenames.endswith('.json'):
print(filenames)


The above works fine, it lists out the filenames. Now i want to match the filenames and make my URL be dynamic, for example: when i type in http://127.0.0.1:5000/vip3 it should show me the contents of vip3.json.



I tried something like this and it works. But this is not dynamic :(



if num == '3':
with open('C:/pytest/submitted_form_data/vip3.json') as json_data:
b = json.load(json_data)
return jsonify(b)
else:
return render_template('request.html')


i also tried fnmatch. But does not help. I am rookie, Please help!



EDIT



@app.route("/<num>", methods=['GET','POST'])
def vip(num)

with open('C:/pytest/submitted_form_data/{num}.json') as json_data:
b = json.load(json_data)
return jsonify(b)


I made the user to input vip5. Which means num will now store vip5. So, now i just have to pass num in the directory path. Does this make more sense and easier? However, the above path does not work :/



How do i pass the variable num to the path? the above path gives the error "Says no such file or directory"
