*Let me re-phrase my question.* I have a basic (server1) Django development web server and another server (ex:server2) - (actually multiple windows 10 machines not just 1 machine.) which has a python/batch script that launches a python application. Assume that the server1 has necessary authentication in place to run the script on server2. All I want to do is, click a button on the django website which would run the python script sitting on server2. Now can this be achieved using Django REST APIs? or how else can i achieve this? help is highly appreciated.
PS: reply from Mohammed Khalid seems its possible using Django REST Framework, just need one more confirmation as i have re-phrased my question.
