How To: Use With django-pandas

Django REST Pandas includes built-in functionality to serialize querysets into Pandas DataFrames. However, you can also let Django Pandas handle querying and generating the dataframe, and only use Django REST Pandas for the rendering. To do this, leverage PandasSimpleView instead of PandasView.

# models.py
from django_pandas.managers import DataFrameManager

class TimeSeries(models.Model):
    # ...
    objects = DataFrameManager()

# views.py
from rest_pandas import PandasSimpleView
from .models import TimeSeries

class TimeSeriesView(PandasSimpleView):
    def get_data(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return TimeSeries.objects.to_timeseries(
            index='date',
        )
