Krystian,
To extract the Title and Author from your API call you need:
return render(request, 'books/api.html', {
'title': book['volumeInfo']['title'],
'authors': book['volumeInfo']['authors'][0]
})
'authors' is stored in an array(list) so if you want to pass all the
authors as text you'll have to do some sort of list comprehension or just
get one with an index.
Regards,
Joe
