Dear Group,

I am using Python 2.7.9 on MS-Windows 7 Professional.

The shortest way to go is to pick a complete framework for RESTfull apps, like Django Rest Framework. Its complete out of the box, and yet simple as it works as the Django Class Based Views.

There are others frameworks ofcourse, or you can do it yourself with the Django CBVs, BUT i highly recomend DRF.

Sorry, but despite the fact that you have unapplied migrations, there is no error on your app.

(To apply the migrations, simply run python manage.py migrate)

The get status 500 "per se" may or may not be an error. Please, send the traceback of the error, otherwise, we can't help you much.

Thank you Sir, for your kind reply. I ran python manage.py migrate and then issue was fixed at command prompt,
but as I tried the http://127.0.0.1/ ... I initially got few indentation errors etc. but the issue seems now fixed as I tried
to fix those minor errors.
