Hello,

I have an external source of data (external API) who sent data in JSON format.

How can i take them and use them in a form with autocomplete-list?

Hi !

Welcome to the list !

Perhaps you could try to fetch the data in the autocomplete view. In the choices from the JSON api *which are not in the database*, make the returned choices HTML elements have the url data attribute. Then, you need to implement choice creation: http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorial.html#creation-of-new-choices-in-the-autocomplete-form
