Django: How to make json data readable in django?

Question

i am trying to retrieve the lastest news from hackernews api, everthing seems to be working fine and when i print the status code, i get Status Code:200. Now i am getting some data but they are not readable this is how there are displayed

b'[31349988,31344981,31348529,31344863,31341698,31348097,31347740,31348772,31347286,31348463,31345478,31348316,31345749,31347983,3'

and this is code i used to retrieve the data from the api https://hackernews.api-docs.io/

def index(request):
    response = requests.get("https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/topstories.json")
    return render(request, "index.html", {'response': response})

this is how they look in the template, instead of displaying the title

index.html

{% story in response %}
   {{ story.title }}
{% endfor %}

That API gives an array integer as a response. So I supposed API manipulation error. So plz inform the API creator and get advice from them.

Your requests.get() returns an object. So, to make it readable, simply pass .json() method, like so:

def index(request):
    response = requests.get("https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/topstories.json").json()
    return render(request, "index.html", {'response': response})

remove title from item

{% story in response %}
   {{ story }}
{% endfor %}
