I am learning REST API Django and would appreciate your patience and help in understaing the below case.
in myproject/abcapp/forms.py
from django import forms
from .models import *
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model=Profile
fields = "__all__"
class Zoo_data_2020Form(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model=Zoo_data_2020
fields = "__all__"
in myproject/abcapp/models.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
class ProfileQuerySet(models.QuerySet):
pass
class ProfileManager(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return ProfileQuerySet(self.model,using=self._db)
class Profile(models.Model):
name=models.CharField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,max_length=200)
subtype=models.CharField(max_length=500)
type=models.CharField(max_length=500)
gender=models.CharField(max_length=500)
objects = ProfileManager()
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'Profile'
verbose_name_plural = 'Profiles'
managed = False
db_table ='profiles'
def __str__(self):
return '{}'.format(self.name)
class Zoo_data_2020QuerySet(models.QuerySet):
pass
class Zoo_data_2020Manager(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return Zoo_data_2020QuerySet(self.model,using=self._db)
class Zoo_data_2020(models.Model):

size=models.DecimalField(decimal_places=3,max_digits=100000000)
weight=models.DecimalField(decimal_places=3,max_digits=100000000)

in myproject/abcapp/api/urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from .views import *
urlpatterns = [
path('', ProfileAPIView.as_view()),
path('<id>/', ProfileDetailAPIView.as_view()),
path('', Zoo_data_2020APIView.as_view()),
path('<id>/', Zoo_data_2020DetailAPIView.as_view()),]
in myproject/urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('api/profile/', include('abcapp.api.urls')),
path('api/zoodata2020/', include('abcapp.api.urls')),
]
So when i do call http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/profile/ i get data from tables Profile, but when i do call http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/zoodata2020/ i get data again from table Profile not Zoo_data_2020. But when i remove from myproject/abcapp/api/urls.py:
path('', ProfileAPIView.as_view()),
path('<id>/', ProfileDetailAPIView.as_view()),
then it shows me data from table Zoo_data_2020 but then i can’t get data from table Profile
how to fix it ? I am sure that i am doing smth wrong in urls.py in both app and the project. So what i need to do to make endpoints seperate ? and also how to show them both?
I want to call http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/profile/?search=TIGER and as result to give me information from both tables profiles and zoo_data_2020 as they contain different data but about the same ‘name’ which is TIGER. But currently when for example i call http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/profile/?search=TIGER it just shows me data from tabel Profile not from Zoo_data_2020
Please help to understand it and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.
>Solution :
In the project urls.py, you don’t have to refer the same app multiple times, you can do that in the app’s urls.py
Give this a try
myproject/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('api/', include('cfs.api.urls')),
]
myproject/abcapp/api/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('profile', ProfileAPIView.as_view()),
path('profile/<id>/', ProfileDetailAPIView.as_view()),
path('zoo_data', Zoo_data_2020APIView.as_view()),
path('zoo_data/<id>/', Zoo_data_2020DetailAPIView.as_view()),
]
