Django Rest Framework: No Models

Facebook facebook Rahul Nama to contact

I am creating a REST API using DRF (Django Rest Framework). The API just takes the user's twitter handle and returns their twitter data.

Here, I'm not using a model here because it's not required.

Should I be using a serializer here? If yes, why? Now I can return data without using serializer. Also, "My API" cannot be browsed over the web. How should I make it web-browsable: This is one of the best features of DRF.

Edit: 1

I use function in view.

@api_view(['GET'])
@csrf_exempt
def getdetails(request):

    call the twitter api
    receive the data
    return HttpResponse(JsonResponse( {'data': {'twitter_id':id,'tweets':count,'Followers':followers,'following':count_follow}}))

In the browser, I only see JSON data like this.

{"data":{"twitter_id":352525,"tweets":121,"followers":1008,"followers":281}}

JPG format

you can use the Serializerresult

class SampleSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    field1 = serializers.CharField()
    field2 = serializers.IntegerField()
    # ... other fields

usage

my_data = {
    "field1": "my sample",
    "field2": 123456
}

my_serializer = SampleSerializer(data=my_data)
my_serializer.is_valid(True)
data = my_serializer.data

You will get serialized data in datavariables (which can be used my_serializer.datadirectly )

Should I be using a serializer here?

It's up to you, because if you want the response JSON to be displayed without any modification to the Twitter API, you can do without the DRF serializer. And if you wish to do some formatting of the JSON, my answer will help you

My API cannot be browsed over the web. How should I make it web-browsable?

Maybe you are following the wrong procedure. Anyway, we can't say more about this without seeing your code snippet

Update 1

from rest_framework.response import Response


@api_view(['GET'])
@csrf_exempt
def getdetails(request):
    call the twitter  api
    twitter_api = get_response_from_twitter()  # Json response
    return Response(data=twitter_api)
