I have a script on python, which prints some data. The script is on Centos7, nginx.
How could I connect to the script via URL (GET query) to be able to parse the data?

1You will have to create a RESTful webservice (eg. with flask, there are many tutorials online just google for flask restful)Jonathan R– Jonathan R2018-03-11 19:00:01 +00:00Commented Mar 11, 2018 at 19:00

You can use a framework like Django or flask to make an api out of it. I'll suggest flask since it's very light-weight, making it ideal for such small tasks.
E.g.
def your_function(input):
# do something
return output
from flask import Flask
from flask import request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/my_api')
def your_api_function():
input = request.args.get('my_query_string')
return your_function(input)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
And then use the endpoint
/my_api?my_query_string=my_input
You can further play around with it to return JSON, take parameters from request body and so on and so forth.
