[Answer]-Using Django rest framework as a rest client

✅

Django Rest Framework is for creating REST APIs, not consuming them. To simply call a REST API from Django/Python you can do the following using json and urllib2 which are standard:

import json
import urllib2

data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen('http://myapi.com/'))

or you can use the 3rd party library requests:

import requests
r = requests.get('http://myapi.com/')
r.json()
