Why can't I get the API data using Django again? - django

Question

I have a web app I'm developing locally, part of the app uses cryptocompare.
Contrarily to my previous experience on using API in Django(because previously I've been able to get data from cryptocomapare through there API), I couldn't even print the data to the console, not to talk of template.
I have even checked different other means of doing this in python on YouTube and blogs, but I don't seem to miss anything too (at least as far as I'm concerned, but technically speaking something is wrong).
I have the app in the settings/installed-app.
I have my API key linked accordingly (at least as far as I can understand).
I have done the following to create the app in Django:
The crypto code is like this for Django:
import requests
def cryptos(request):
api_rqt = requests.get(
'https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/v2/news/?lang=EN&api_key={my-app-key)')
api = json.loads(api_rqt.content)
print(api_rqt)
context = {'api': api}
template = 'home.html'
return render(request, template, context)
<div>
{% for api in api.Data%}
<h4>{{api.title}}</h4>
<h5>By <label>|</label> <i>{{api.published_on}}</i></h5>
<p>{{api.body}}</p>
Read More ...
{% endfor %}
</div>
I expect the output to show me news summary from cryptocompare but nothing is shown. And my Django server is running very well.
I received some exception message:

If I look at that data, then what you actually want to pass to the html template is :
context = {'api': api['Data']}
This is then a list of dictionaries that you can iterate over using:
{% for dict in api %}
You can then find the fields you want.
Alternatively, look at flattening the dictionaries to only the fields you want before passing everything as the context.
