Django Creating Using Context In Rendered View - django

Question

I am rendering a view to an html template. I do not get any errors but the data does does not loop on the page.
I had this working but once i started using the template I have had problems. So I know it works I am just not understanding using context to render the response.
I am making a request to an api then assigning the response to a variable. Then I am creating the context based on the variable of the response. At this point I understand I should be able to access the data with the context variable. What is the proper way of assigning a response to a a context and using the data in a template tag.
In the view
def github(request):
jsonList = []
req = requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/DrkSephy')
str_response = req.content.decode('utf-8')
jsonList.append(json.loads(str_response))
parsedData = []
userData = {}
for data in jsonList:
userData['name'] = data['name']
userData['blog'] = data['blog']
userData['email'] = data['email']
userData['public_gists'] = data['public_gists']
userData['public_repos'] = data['public_repos']
userData['avatar_url'] = data['avatar_url']
userData['followers'] = data['followers']
userData['following'] = data['following']
moviesList = parsedData.append(userData)
context = {'moviesList': moviesList}
return render(request, 'serviceapp/github.html', context)
In the html file
{% for movie in moviesList %}
<tr>
<td>{{ movie.name }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.blog }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.avatar_url }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.public_repos }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.public_gists }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.email }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.followers }}</td>
<td>{{ movie.following }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}

Answer 1

{% for moviesList in moviesList %}
^both the variables here are identical - you already use moviesList for the whole list, so you cant use it again for the variable inside loop. Use something like this:
{% for item in moviesList %}
{{ item.name }}
...
{% endfor %}
edit:
ok, so I looked at your code again. Have you tried to print the variables in your view if they are filled correctly? Because they are not. Look at this line:
moviesList = parsedData.append(userData)
^ what you do here is you assign the result of parsedData.append() (which is None, because append is in-place modification) to the moviesList variable, which is then None.
