api = Api(app)

class Users(Resource):
    @app.route('/users/<string:name>/')
    def hello(name):
        namesource = request.args.get('name')
        return "Hello {}!".format(name)

print(namesource)  # here am trying to get the sitring/value in name source but i can't because it no       variable defines

api.add_resource(Users, name='users')
# For Running our Api on Localhost
if __name__ == '__main__':

You are trying to access the variable namesource outside of the function hello. You can't do that. You can access the variable name outside of the function hello because it is a parameter of the function. You can fix it by making a global variable.

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

namesource = None

class Users(Resource):
    @app.route('/users/&lt;string:name&gt;/')
    def hello(name):
        global namesource
        namesource = request.args.get('name')
        return "Hello {}!".format(name)

print(namesource)

api.add_resource(Users, name='users')
# For Running our Api on Localhost
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)
