Re: Checking API Results before saving

Hello ,

You can design a serializer for each api endpoint and use it in your view to validate your data like validating forms data :

Pseducode :

res = requests.post(url+some_endpoint, data)

endpoint_serializer.validate(res.data)

if serializer.is_valid():

    #do your stuff

else :

    #do something 

Best Regards

Hello all,

    I am sending an GET request to an external API and I would like to validate the response before I save it to my model.  How do I do this?

Thank you.
