Question

I want to write google places api like web service for learning. I have started with django python and searched for how to write api style responses. I found django-tastypie, but this framework looks for different thing, most examples given for database interaction. What I need is given ‘ xxx.yy/api/places?lat=A&lng=B ‘ URL, respond with places in 100m using json format. I am new to this world, please provide with examples and links.

Answer 1

I think you should learn the connection between URL and Django python scripts
Visit https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/
about JSON format you can use

return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_data), mimetype="application/json")
