Filter but get object - django

Question

I am doing:

MyModel.objects.filter(name=givenname).latest('added')

But I am getting a Queryset:

[<MyModel: object title>]

But I need only the object, How can I get only object and not Queryset by using filter() ?

Answer 1

Instead of using filter use get (or in addition)

In your case:

MyModel.objects.filter(name=givenname).latest('added')

Or:

MyModel.objects.filter(name=givenname).get()
