Hi Jani,
i have direct access to the database where the form is stored. I GET the
data using the imported requests e,g [r = requests.get(url,
auth=HTTPBasicAuth('username', 'password'))]
so the user would have to input his/her user name and password , and the
project name for which they want the forms for. i then create a model with
only certain key value pairs i want from the database..
my main problem is the models.py and the database insertion of the forms.
also i have a python script which fetches my data, i do not know how to use
views.py to do it.
Thank you in advance..
