title: Retrieve data from url into json format in flask
body: <p>I am trying to retrieve data from url into json format using flask-restplus.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from flask import Flask, render_template
  import requests
  import json
  from flask_restplus import Resource, Api, fields
  from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
  
  # config details
  COLLECTION = 'indicators'
  
  app = Flask(__name__)
  api = Api(
    app,
    title='Akhil Jain',
    description='Developing ' \
    'a Flask-Restplus data service that allows a client to ' \
    'read and store some publicly available economic indicator ' \
    'data for countries around the world, and allow the consumers ' \
    'to access the data through a REST API.'
  )
  
  @api.route('/indicators')
  def get(self):
          uri = 'http://api.worldbank.org/v2/indicators'
          try:
              res = requests.get(uri)
              print(res)
              return res.json()
          except:
              return False
  
  if __name__ == '__main__':
      app.run(debug=True)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but after trying out the GET, the response i am getting is False instead of the json data.
  Could anyone tell me how to get the response data so that i can process it to sqllite db.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
