Working with JSON and Django -

i new python , django. professional deploys software monitors computers. api outputs json. want create django app reads api , outputs data html page. started? think idea write json feed django model. help/advice appreciated.

here's simple single file extract json data:

import urllib2 import json  def printresults(data):     thejson = json.loads(data)     in thejson[""]   def main():     urldata = ""      weburl = urllib2.urlopen(urldata)     if (weburl.getcode() == 200):         data = weburl.read()         printresults(data)     else:         print "received error"  if __name__ == '__main__':     main() 

if have url returning json response, try this:

import requests import json  url = 'http://....'  # api url  response = requests.get(url) json_response = response.json() 

now json_response list containing dicts. let's suppose have structure:

[   {      'code': abc,      'avg': 14.5,      'max': 30   },   {      'code': xyz,      'avg': 11.6,      'max': 21   },   ... ] 

you can iterate on list , take every dict model.

from yourmodels import currentmodel      ...     obj in json_response:         cm = currentmodel()         cm.avg = obj['avg']         cm.max = obj['max']         cm.code = obj['code']         cm.save() 

or use bulk method, keep in mind bulk_create not trigger save method.
