I need to get authorized user object in hydrate method, something like that: class SalepointResource(ModelResource): def hydrate(self, bundle): user = bundle.request.user But request here is empty HttpRequest object, and doesn't have user method, although user is authorized. Is there any way to get user object? With TastyPie 0.9.15, I find this works: def hydrate_user(self, bundle): bundle.obj.user = bundle.request.user return bundle with no need for subclassing ModelResource . Here user is a ForeignKey of the model and the resource. I'm posting this as an answer because although it looks

I just have a Resource uri, like '/api/v1/myobjectresource/23/' , and I need to hydrate it. It means, I want to instantiate MyObject(pk=23) from its resource_uri . How should I do this? Extracted from https://gist.github.com/794424 def get_resource_uri(self, bundle_or_obj): kwargs = { 'resource_name': self._meta.resource_name, } if isinstance(bundle_or_obj, Bundle): kwargs['pk'] = bundle_or_obj.obj.id # pk is referenced in ModelResource else: kwargs['pk'] = bundle_or_obj.id if self._meta.api_name is not None: kwargs['api_name'] = self._meta.api_name return self._build_reverse_url('api_dispatch

Sorry if this is a bit convoluted... I am still learning Backbone.js... What is the proper way to load & save Backbone models that have sub-models within themselves? (And should I even be having sub-models?) For example, (pardon the coffeescript), if I have something like: class Address extends Backbone.Model urlRoot: '/api/v1/address/' url: -> return @urlRoot+@id+'/?format=json' defaults: {'city': '', 'state': ''} class Person extends Backbone.Model urlRoot: '/api/v1/person/' url: -> return @urlRoot+@id+'/?format=json' defaults: { name: 'Anon', address: new Address } ... and then I do this ..

How do you get the model object of a tastypie modelresource from it's uri? for example: if you were given the uri as a string in python, how do you get the model object of that string? Tastypie's Resource class (which is the guy ModelResource is subclassing ) provides a method get_via_uri(uri, request) . Be aware that his calls through to apply_authorization_limits(request, object_list) so if you don't receive the desired result make sure to edit your request in such a way that it passes your authorisation. A bad alternative would be using a regex to extract the id from your url and then use

I Am just starting with django tastypie, and I Am enthousiastic about it. My question: I Am searching for the same feature as in the admin view: specify for foreignkey fields what to see in the list response of other objects and what in the detailed response. let's say this is my simplyfied model: class Location(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True) longitude = models.FloatField(blank=True, default=0.0) latitude = models.FloatField(blank=True, default=0.0) description = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True) shortname = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank

I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out what my next steps should be. I am using tastypie to create an API for my web application. From another application, specifically ifbyphone.com, I am receiving a POST with no headers that looks something like this: post data:http://myapp.com/api/ callerid=1&someid=2&number=3&result=Answered&phoneid=4 Now, I see in my server logs that this is hitting my server.But tastypie is complaining about the format of the POST. {"error_message": "The format indicated 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' had no available deserialization method.
