What Larry said - you need to convert the javascript data format into a
python data format. json.loads() will do that for you. Here's a working
example:
import json
def get_nyt_news():
# NYT API data
response = requests.get(
'http://api.nytimes.com/svc/mostpopular/v2/mostshared/all-sections/7.json?api-key={apikey}'.format(apikey=settings.NYT_API_KEY)
)
json_data = json.loads(response.text)
data = json_data['results'][0:4]
# Rewrite data to conform internal links
for d in data:
d['get_absolute_url'] = d['url']
return {'object_list': data}
