How to save Python Dict Values to SQLite Model?

Question

I am calling an API that returns JSON data. I am using json.loads to decode the JSON to Python as a dictionary. The dictionary that returns is a somewhat complex nested dictonary with nested lists as well.

For example:

{ "educations": { "_total": 1, "values": [{ "degree": "Bachelor of Arts", "fieldOfStudy": "Psychology", "schoolName": "Antioch University Seattle" }] }

How do I store each of the values into an SQLite database with the model defined as:

class Educations(models.Model):
    name = models.ForeignKey(Candidate)
    degree = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    fieldOfStudy = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    schoolName = models.CharField(max_length=200)

Each education is associated with a Candidate which is defined in the Candidate class (not shown here).

Answer 1

You can set the fields in new object like

# Get after json.dump
json_data = { "educations": { "_total": 1, "values": [{ "degree": "Bachelor of Arts", "fieldOfStudy": "Psychology", "schoolName": "Antioch University Seattle" }] }

for each_education in json_data['educations']['values']
    new_education = Education(**each_education)
    # Set the name foreign key
    # new_educaiton.name = name
    new_education.save()

Note: How you will get the data for the name foreignkey is not mention in your question so that also you can set.
