I am trying to pull json data and display it on a page using Django. I am receiving the following error:
'dict' object has no attribute 'META'
on line 36 of my views.py file which is the following:
return render(request, 'base_generic.html', context=context)
This came up in a search but I have the correct brackets for my context and I also found this but it is honestly just confusing me even further.
Do you have any suggestions as to why this is happening or what I am doing wrong? Thank you so much and if there is anything else I can provide to make my question more clear I will do so. Thank you all for your time.
