✅

Put in your app/apps/user/api.py

from tastypie.resources import ModelResource
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        queryset = User.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'user'

And in your urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import * 
from app.apps.user.api import UserResource

v1_api = Api(api_name='v1') #api_name will be 'v1' in http://localhost:8000/v1/?format=json
v1_api.register(UserProfileResource())    

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^api/', include(v1_api.urls)), 
)

I don’t mean to be crude here, but reading the documentation, specially the quickstart, would help.

Your api is now (in your devserver) exposed to

   http://localhost:8000/api/v1/?format=json

Thats all. You don’t have to write any code, for example to

 - retrieve all users in json:
   http://localhost:8000/api/v1/user/?format=json

 - retrieve the entry in the user table with the key 1
   http://localhost:8000/api/v1/user/1/?format=json

 - retrieve the meta information about your UserResource
   http://localhost:8000/api/v1/user/schema/?format=json

Hope this helps you!
