PyPoints is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to analyze and visualize all your Flask and FastAPI endpoints in your Python projects.
With PyPoints, you can clearly see the function name, HTTP method, number of lines, and full code of each endpoint, grouped by categories using # name comments.
Its Postman-style interface makes it easy to navigate and review your APIs directly within VS Code.
- Automatically detects Flask and FastAPI endpoints.
- Groups endpoints by categories using
# namecomments. - Shows detailed information for each endpoint:
- Function name
- HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Number of lines, start line, and end line
- Full code of the endpoint
- VS Code interface with collapsible categories and color-coded methods.
- Easy to use: just open a Python file with endpoints and run the command
PyPoints: Analyze Endpoints.
This is where images would go if we had any
- VS Code ≥ 1.80
- Node.js ≥ 18 (for extension development)
- Python ≥ 3.8 (for your Flask or FastAPI projects)
No additional dependencies are needed on the user’s machine, just have VS Code and open Python projects.
This extension does not require additional settings for now, but future updates may allow customization of the interface and HTTP method colors.
- Does not detect dynamic endpoints created using variables in
@app.route. - Currently counts only up to the last
returnin the function; very complex functions with multiple returns may require manual review. - The Webview interface may have limited scrolling if there are many endpoints.
- First release of PyPoints.
- Detection of Flask and FastAPI endpoints.
- Postman-style Webview interface with categories and endpoint details.
- Improved detection of HTTP methods and accurate line counting.
- Color-coded methods and collapsible category cards.
Make sure you have read the extension guidelines and follow best practices to keep your project clean and professional.
Enjoy using PyPoints!
