I'm storing user's data and articles using the Pocket API into a SQLite Database using Django Framework. How can I efficiently maintain consistency between the database and the data received from the API? I'm planning to update the database once every 24 hours.

Should be simple with chron jobs. If you already have a model with logic to fetch data from the Pocket API and parse it, it's as simple as:
class MyCronJob(CronJobBase):
RUN_EVERY_MINS = 120 # every 2 hours
schedule = Schedule(run_every_mins=RUN_EVERY_MINS)
code = 'my_app.my_cron_job' # a unique code
def do(self):
data = fetch_your_data()
save_data(data)
If you don't have the parsing logic yet, I'd suggest Django Rest Framework serializers. Using the serializers is simple and saving the data shrinks down to:
def save_data(json_data):
serializer = YourPocketDataSerializer(json_data)
serializer.save()
