Question

@app.route("/<requested_username>/<requested_team>", methods=['GET', 'POST'])

^How do I make this so that no matter what is entered – it still goes to the correct url

For example:

/jose/SWaGGer   #should work
/jOse/swagger   #should work
/josE/Swagger   #should work
etc.

Oh, and I am using Python/Flask by the way – and nope I did not find an explanation for this in the docs.

In your view method call lower() on your strings before working with them. If you do this, they will always be stored and used lower case.

E.g.:

@app.route('/user/<requested_username>/<requested_team>')
def thing(requested_username, requested_team):
    requested_team = requested_team.lower()
    requested_username = requested_username.lower()

    ... then continue with the view

You should then always store your strings in lower case in your database, so call lower before saving them.
