How can I use it with Django + Django REST Framework?

[dpw1]

Hello,

I am really lost regarding how to use Meli's API with my DRF API. Could you kindly guide me towards a direction?

Thank you very much.

Why not? I am currently using it with Django. But of course you need to write all the functions to operate with Meli. This SDK just do the basic connection to Meli... Is very poor, likely unmaintained and even does not support upload files requests (in my case, I had to write my own method for this).

@gusarg81 can you please give me any guidance with this?

[gusarg81]

What do you need to know? I did not used DRF with this, but pure django which ni fact I don't think that makes any differences).
Like I said, what you need to do is read the API docs from Mercado Libre and create the respective python code to operate with all the endpoints (or the ones you want to use).

Apparently it's not that simple, I wasn't able to personally achieve this. Em qui., 25 de fev. de 2021 às 00:16, WellingtonNico < [email protected]> escreveu:

And why not? This is not dependent of any platform, Toolkit or framework. I should work.

I can be wrong, but it sounds to me that you're new to Django. I was, too, when I got started with this project and there was no help from anyone. No tutorials, pretty terribly limited docs. I tried contacting the developers, ML, nothing, no one ever replied. The ML forum is pretty bad too. There's some obnoxious sense of god complex among most of the users there, when you request for help suddenly everything is "just" or "simple" or "read the documentation". Therefore, my personal suggestion: If you need this project for work or something you'll need to hire someone. If this is just for fun, keep on studying python/Django until you become comfortable with it, then you can take this code and re-structure it into your project. Good luck!

Like @dpw1 said, I think you should practice a little more about Django and even maybe Python to understand what are you doing. If you are beginner, managing requests will be kind more advanced for you..

And yes, asking ML for help if kind useless; they don't care much about their SDKs (at least, this one), even less in Forum and Tech support is restricted now only for certified apps (even if there is a problem in their SDK itself, they don't care much).

That being said, you have to struggle with their not complete API documentation (many times, trial and error).

Hope it helps!

Is impossible to help you if you don't show us what you did and where it fails.
