Thanks in advance

You might be able to use this package (https://pypi.org/project/ngrok-flask-cart/). I built it for a separate project (https://github.com/nathanReitinger/CART/tree/main), but I think the ngrok-flask part applies here.

pip install ngrok-flask-cart
...
from ngrok_flask_cart import run_with_ngrok
...
run_with_ngrok(app=app, domain='--domain=<YOUR_STATIC_DOMAIN>', auth_token='<YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN>')
