Requesting data from an API and rendering data on website

[nAncy sharma]

Hi,

I am using Django Cms 3.1.3. I want to give a call (request ) to an API and display the result on my website. 

Could anyone help me with this ? I am new to django cms !

Can you do it in plain python?

Hi Avraham,

Yes that should work.

But since i am new to django cms , i don't know the files (ex: model.py ,view.py etc ) which all files need changes and where does the actual code of requesting to an API is to be written.

Then I suggest that you do official tutorial from Django documentation.

It will give you a grasp what Django itself is and how it works. Django CMS is just built on top of Django so principles do apply there as well.

With all respect Jani, I do not think this is the right answer. Django-cms per se does not give top level access to the views, so integrating pure python is not as easy as it sounds.  Adam
