Start function on run with Flask
I have a flask app
@app.route("/hello")
def generater():
return "hello world
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
My application runs fine, but i would like to know how I could make a request to http://127.0.0.1:5000/hello when I compile my code
python django flask frameworks

When i execute the command python hello.py the first thing that would happen is that it would go to localhost:port/hello and it would return hello world without me having to go to a webpage and type localhost/hello

You can use webbrowser to automatically open http://localhost:5000 in a web browser when running your flask app:
import webbrowser
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
webbrowser.open('http://localhost:5000')
app.run()

There are a lot of ways you could do this. You could just open up your browser to that location. You could try @jimtodd's answer and then cURL the endpoint from another terminal window.
To do it in the code, which I guess is what you want, Flask offers you some helper methods. For example there is: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/api/#flask.Flask.before_first_request
You can use it like this:
def foo():
pass
app.before_first_request(foo)
In the case where you want to run a script strictly on run, not just before the first request, this solution is good: Run code after flask application has started -- I guess you would use this for cold-start problems as well.
