ForeignKey relationships are not represented automatically on the ModelResource. You’ll have to specify:
blog = tastypie.fields.ForeignKey(ContainerResource, 'blog')
on the ContainerItemResource
, and then you can post the resource uri of the container when you post up the container item.
var containeritemData = {"blog": "/api/v1/container/1/"}
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/containeritem/',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: containeritemData,
dataType: 'json',
processData: false
});

In this section, there is an example of how to create basic resources. Toward the bottom, they mention that relationship fields are not automatically created through introspection:
http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#creating-resources
Here they add an example of creating a relationship field:
http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#creating-more-resources
Here is a blurb about adding reverse relations:

All the docs are good if you read them like a novel, but it can be hard to find specific things among them.
