Hello from Argentina! I'm new to programming and recently started a Flask project. I've successfully displayed information from an API using one endpoint and rendered it with Flask. However, I'm now facing the challenge of displaying information from multiple endpoints.
Below is the code I used to render the data, even though it may not be the cleanest:
def home():
page = request.args.get('page', 1, type=int)
posts = Post.query.order_by(Post.date_posted.desc()).paginate(page=page, per_page=5)
oficial = requests.get('https://api-dolar-argentina.herokuapp.com/api/dolaroficial')
blue = requests.get('https://api-dolar-argentina.herokuapp.com/api/dolarblue')
dataoficial = json.loads(oficial.content)
datablue = json.loads(blue.content)
return render_template('home.html', posts=posts, data=dataoficial, datablue=datablue)
My next task involves working with multiple endpoints on the API. Below is a script that illustrates what I aim to achieve:
symbol = ['dolaroficial', 'dolarblue', 'contadoliqui', 'dolarpromedio', 'dolarturista','dolarbolsa']
for i in symbol:
api_url = f'https://api-dolar-argentina.herokuapp.com/api/{i}'
data = requests.get(api_url).json()
print(f' {i}: precio de venta', {data['venta']})
print(f' {i}: precio de compra', {data['compra']})
I attempted to loop through all endpoints like the example above, but unfortunately, nothing was rendered:
def argentina():
symbol = ['dolaroficial', 'dolarblue', 'contadoliqui', 'dolarpromedio', 'dolarturista', 'dolarbolsa']
for i in symbol:
api_url = f'https://api-dolar-argentina.herokuapp.com/api/{i}'
datasa = requests.get(api_url)
data = json.loads(datasa.content)
return render_template('currency.html', data=data )
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block content %}
<div>
{% for dat in data %}
{{ dat['compra'] }}
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}
If I attempt to do this manually, the result won't look great. Can anyone guide me on how to display this information effectively? Thank you in advance and have a wonderful day!
