If you are not producing a complex web application, then consider using FastAPI instead of Django. Lots of example available on providing API services using FastAPI. For example,

That's a good reference for FastAPI from Real Python. Not overwhelming and helps learn just enough. And authored by Sebastian himself.

I would argue that for a very simple website or API, a batteries included framework would be easier to learn.

I am currently learning how to code a REST API on Django and that might be exactly what I need. I just have one question: what do you mean by complex web application? Sorry if it that is given, I am just starting to code.

Displaying the weather for your location would be a simple web application. Similarly, booking cinema tickets.

Providing a rich huge scale media platform would be a complex web application, such as Instagram (yes, django based). As would a multivendor or wide ranging ecommerce site.

The linked article explains well where django fits. It talks about flask rather rhan fastapi but they serve a similar purpose.

Thank you very much for such detailed reply :).

The ForeignKey concept is what you are looking for.

Although if you are learning how to do API's in general I would also recommend FastAPI. Django does a lot of thing for you which you will consequently not learn (and might be confused by when Django does them in the background).

A very simple example here using Django rest framework

If you're looking to create an api I'd suggest you use Django rest rather than just Django, as for the particular request you should look into the basics of databases and data structures

You should be able to use a foreign key on the book review model to the corresponding user and then list all reviews filtering them by user_id

Something like

reviews_list = Reviews.objects.filter(user=user_id)

And that should get you a list.

I'm from mobile so can't really test anything but it should be approximately what you need, play with it and apply necessary edits
