如何从外部 API 获取数据到 Django Rest Framework

Question

我正在创建一个 DRF 项目（仅限 API），其中登录用户可以指定他希望接收多少人随机生成的凭据。

这是我的问题： 我想从外部 API (https://randomuser.me/api) 获取这些凭据。 该网站会生成 url 的“结果”参数中指定数量的随机用户数据。 前任。 https://randomuser.me/api/?results=40

我的问题是：

我什至如何获得这些数据？我知道 JavaScript fetch() 方法可能很有用，但我实际上并不知道如何将它与 Django Rest Framework 连接，然后对其进行操作。 我想在用户发送 POST 请求后向用户显示数据（仅指定要生成的用户数）并将结果保存在数据库中，以便他稍后可以访问它们（通过 GET 请求）。

如果您有任何想法或提示，我将不胜感激。

谢谢！

以下是在 Django Rest Framework API 视图中进行 API 调用的方法：

因为您想将外部 API 请求存储在数据库中。这是存储用户结果的模型示例。

models.py

from django.conf import settings

class Credential(models.Models):
    """ A user can have many generated credentials """
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    value = models.CharField()

    # Here we override the save method to avoid that each user request create new credentials on top of the existing one
    
    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.user.username} - {self.value}"

views.py

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
# Assume that you have installed requests: pip install requests
import requests
import json

class GenerateCredential(APIVIew):
    """ This view make and external api call, save the result and return 
        the data generated as json object """
    # Only authenticated user can make request on this view
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, )
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        # The url is like https://localhost:8000/api/?results=40
        results = self.request.query_params.get('type')
        response = {}
        # Make an external api request ( use auth if authentication is required for the external API)
        r = requests.get('https://randomuser.me/api/?results=40', auth=('user', 'pass'))
        r_status = r.status_code
        # If it is a success
        if r_status = 200:
            # convert the json result to python object
            data = json.loads(r.json)
            # Loop through the credentials and save them
            # But it is good to avoid that each user request create new 
            # credentials on top of the existing one
            # ( you can retrieve and delete the old one and save the news credentials )
            for c in data:
                credential = Credential(user = self.request.user, value=c)
                credential.save()
            response['status'] = 200
            response['message'] = 'success'
            response['credentials'] = data
        else:
            response['status'] = r.status_code
            response['message'] = 'error'
            response['credentials'] = {}
        return Response(response)


class UserCredentials(APIView):
    """This view return the current authenticated user credentials """
    
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, )
    
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        current_user = self.request.user
        credentials = Credential.objects.filter(user__id=current_user)
        return Response(credentials)

注意： 这些视图假定发出请求的user 已通过身份验证，more infos here。因为我们需要用户保存检索到的凭据 在数据库中。

urls.py

path('api/get_user_credentials/', views.UserCredentials.as_view()),
path('api/generate_credentials/', views.GenerateCredentials.as_view()),

.js

const url = "http://localhost:8000/api/generate_credentials/";
# const url = "http://localhost:8000/api/get_user_credentials/";

fetch(url)
.then((resp) => resp.json())
.then(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});
