Calling a REST API from django view (3 answers)

Closed 6 years ago.

I need to call some Java API from Django, specifically Rundeck API. I looked around and django-jython is no longer supported. What other ways can I do it? I have looked at rundeckrun (a Python client library for Rundeck API but I need to only use the Rundeck native Java API).

Assuming Rundeck supports REST API, would something like django-tastypie work?

Edit: As per Consuming a RESTful API with Django, tastypie creates REST API and not consumes it. Apparently, the regular urllib, requests module, etc. does the trick.

Answer 1

The page you linked to is the documentation for a RESTful Web API. If you're trying to access Rundeck through that, you don't need anything fancy -- you can just use something like the requests library to make your HTTP calls. Apps like tastypie are for creating your own APIs, not accessing others' APIs.
