Answer 1

You can get IP address from request.remote_addr and using python default logging library you can easily write the ip into a file.

code example

import logging

from flask import request

# configure your logging and let the file name is text.log
logging.basicConfig(filename='text.log', 
                    level=logging.INFO)


@app.route("/your_path", methods=["POST"])
def example():
    logging.info("ip: {}".format(request.remote_addr))

you can also modify the write format. For more details visit here
