Creating REST API in Django is similar to any app on Django. All you need to do is, install the djangorestframework library, and serialize your models.

Very possible you can create urls for API with the rest framework then create other  urls for your templates .Just install the django rest framework you are good to go.

Maybe this article from JetBrains can help: https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2017/01/webinar-adding-a-rest-api-to-a-django-application/

Hope that helps!

Yes, it is possible. Below is the documentation. we will use serialization to get a django rest API.

I know how to create API but i just want to know how to use in Django template.

Hi 

Use JavaScript or jQuery to call APIs in frontend of Django template.

You can use fetch API using vanilla JavaScript.

You can perform all CRUD operations.

All the best 👍

Hi 

find this link 
https://github.com/sumasreeeduru/Textyfi

And go through "api" app , where you will find adding the api in easy way.

Hi,

Guys earlier have provided useful links for consuming APIs. Just want to emphasize some concepts between server-side and client-side codes.

A django template is rendered into a page on the server side. That means, the server does the work and prepares the html content before sending it to the browser. In theory, you can call APIs when rendering the templates on the server side, but it's almost never a good idea. APIs are designed to be consumed by clients. The django templates should contain the relevant  javascripts (using ajax). These javascripts are not executed when the server renders the templates. They are sent as they are to the client, and are executed automatically by the browser. If the javascript calls API, the browser will come back to your server (this time, to the rest api endpoints, instead of the template rendering endpoints) and consume your API.

Hope it helps.

Best

Zheng

Hey, 

Guess you are making some baseless assumptions about the so-called templates... Can the original poster of the question please clarify what you really meant before we get more and more confused?
