Why is remote_addr missing from the Flask documentation?

Question

This question answers how to find the IP of your visitors in Flask. The code works. However, request.remote_addr seems to be absent from the Flask documentation. Why is this?

Answer 1

Because the Request object comes from Werkzeug, where it is documented. Flask's docs just copy over some of the more commonly used information, but they do link directly to the Werkzeug docs too.
