Python flask request

I'm in the middle of developing a Python app and using flask. I am now writing a POST function that should add a message to a database. Here is the function I wrote:

@app.route('/AddMessage', methods=['POST'])
def AddMessage():
    m=Message(session_id=1, user_id=user.applicatio_id, content='some message', participants=['Ben','Keren','john'])
    db.session.add(m)
    db.session.commit()
    return 'ok'

But it sends me such an error message:

    Method Not Allowed
The method is not allowed for the requested URL.

What's wrong with my POST function?

As you mentionned in the comments,

You are trying to reach your endpoint calling 127.0.0.1:5000/AddMessage in your browser.

Doing this, you are implicitly calling a GET on 127.0.0.1:5000/AddMessage. My recommendation is trying to call it using curl or Javascript to make a POST call.

In the meantime, for a debug purpose, you could just add "GET" to your accepted methods.
