✅

You can create a serializer that inherits from serializers.Serializer and pass your data as the first parameter like:

serializers.py

from rest_framework import serializers

class YourSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
   """Your data serializer, define your fields here."""
   comments = serializers.IntegerField()
   likes = serializers.IntegerField()

views.py

from rest_framework import views
from rest_framework.response import Response

from .serializers import YourSerializer

class YourView(views.APIView):

    def get(self, request):
        yourdata= [{"likes": 10, "comments": 0}, {"likes": 4, "comments": 23}]
        results = YourSerializer(yourdata, many=True).data
        return Response(results)
