my_app/urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^site-info/$', site_info, name='site_info'),
]

my_app/models.py:

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class SiteInfo(models.Model):
    site_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    site_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
    latitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=18, decimal_places=15, blank=True, null=True)
    longitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=18, decimal_places=15, blank=True, null=True)

class Meta:
    # managed = False
    db_table = 'site_info'

data/views:

from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from rest_framework.response import Response

from .models import SiteInfo
from .serializers import SiteInfoSerializer


# Create your views here.
@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
def site_info(request):
"""
    List all sites
"""
    if request.method == 'GET':
       sites = SiteInfo.objects.using('teldata').all()
       serializer = SiteInfoSerializer(sites, many=True)
       Response(serializer.data)

my_app/serializers:

from rest_framework import serializers

from .models import SiteInfo


class SiteInfoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    model = SiteInfo
    fields = ('site_id', 'site_name', 'latitude', 'longitude')

what could be the problem? thanks

you have return as prefix in Response(serializer.data) on your view, right? — trinchet

Your serializer needs to use a nested Meta class to declare model and fields (you were declaring them as normal attributes of the class instead of nesting them):

class SiteInfoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = SiteInfo
        fields = ('site_id', 'site_name', 'latitude', 'longitude')

thanks it solved my problem :) i did some other small mistakes but it was the main problem i guess

When I see these Meta classes, I tend to think of forms in Django. It's my weird way of reminding me to put it in a meta class.

same issue here... had the fields below the Meta but indentation was wrong...

by adding (class Meta) in serializers.py the error can get solved as per my error which i were getting.

Please don't post a picture of code. Post the code itself.
