So in my blueprint's init function I would do something like this 
(plagiarised from documentation):

simple_page = Blueprint('simple_page', __name__)

class UserAPI(MethodView):

     def get(self):
         users = User.query.all()

     def post(self):
         user = User.from_form_data(request.form)

simple_page .add_url_rule('/', view_func=UserAPI.as_view('users'))

Then in the main application entry-point register the blueprint with the 
flask object as normal?
