I am having hard time with serializing data from API since this is the first time that I am doing this. I would like to ask you for your help.
From API i receive dictionary with some keys. Value for key "Search" is list of dictionaries that I would like to print in a for loop in my template later. But I failed.
Here are my results that I managed to put together from few hours of googling and browsing through stack overflow.
Here is my views.py:
def results(request):
title = request.POST.get("Title")
api_key = "111111"
url = f"http://www.omdbapi.com/?s={title}&type=movie&apikey={api_key}"
response = requests.get(url)
serializer = SearchListSerializer(data=response.json()["Search"], many=True)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()
movies = serializer.objects.all()
else:
print(serializer.errors)
print("Something went wrong.")
return render(request, 'movie_database/results.html', movies)
And here is my serializers.py:
class MovieSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Movie
fields = '__all__'
class SearchSerializer(serializers.DictField):
Title = serializers.CharField(max_length=300)
Year = serializers.CharField(max_length=100)
class SearchListSerializer(serializers.ListField):
child = SearchSerializer()
I currently receive error:
TypeError at /results/
__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'data'
But I know that it is only a tip of the iceberg. And one of the problems.
