All the elements of the URL after the controller and function are
request.args (except the query string, of course). You could have a
function called company(), and then companyid and storeid would be in
request.args(0) and request.args(2), respectively. Or you might want a more
general function, like api(), and then "company", companyid, "store", and
storeid would be request.args[0:4]. If desired, you could hide the "api"
function from the URL via routes.py.
