Retrieve data from Django API and store it in database - django

Question

I created an API with django
What I want to do is to fetch data from my django API and store it in my database.
serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers, generics
from Usersapi.models import Userdata
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Userdata
fields = '__all__'
viewsets.py
from Usersapi.models import Userdata
from .serializers import UserSerializer
from rest_framework import viewsets
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Userdata.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
main--> urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from rest_framework.urlpatterns import format_suffix_patterns
from .router import router
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
# path('',include('Usersapi.urls')),
path('client/',include('clientside.urls')),
path('api/', include(router.urls))
]
This is where I am trying to retrieve data from API
clientside--> views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
import coreapi
import json
from django.views import generic
import io
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser
def home(request):
client = coreapi.Client()
response = client.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/Usersapi/1/')
stream = io.BytesIO(response)
data = JSONParser().parse(stream)
name = data.get("name")
age = data.get("age")
gender = data.get("gender")
user = UserReceived.objects.create( name = name, age= age, gender = gender)
user.save()
return render(request, 'books.html')
This code is not working. How do I retrieve the data from ('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/Usersapi/1/')
and store it in my models.py i.e database
clientside --> models.py
from django.db import models
class UserReceived(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
age = models.PositiveIntegerField()
gender = models.CharField(max_length=50)

Answer 1

Your problem is that the corapi client already returns an ordered dict.
This will work:
def home(request):
client = coreapi.Client()
data = client.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/usersapi/1/')
name = data.get("name")
age = data.get("age")
gender = data.get("gender")
user = UserReceived.objects.create(name=name, age=age, gender=gender)
user.save()
return HttpResponse(f"OKAY, got and saved user {name}")
I created a minimal working example here:
