How to modify django-rest-framework API

Question

I have an API. I want to change it so it will look like so:

[
    cats: [{
            "id": 1,
            "description": "I lost my mind",
            "petName": "kappies",
            "phone": 56765665464
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "description": "I lost my dog somewhere",
            "petName": "Doggy",
            "phone": 38093716438
        }
    ],
    dogs: [{
            "id": 3,
            "description": "",
            "petName": "",
            "phone": 0
        }, 
        {
            "id": 3,
            "description": "",
            "petName": "",
            "phone": 0
        }
    ]
]

Who knows how can I do it?

Do I need to create API for cats and dogs separately?

Lets say you got type field in your model.

You can then do something like so in your view.py:

posts = models.Post.objects.all()
posts_serializer = serializers.PostSerializer(posts, many=True)

output = {}
for post in posts_serializer.data:
    type = output.get(post['type'], [])
    output[type].append(post)

return Response(output)

You should add more code and what you tried to do next time you are asking a question.

Good Luck
