class VideoResource(ModelResource):

Solution

  • You post data:

    {
    "title": "Post Title 1",
    "video": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u03h73ClZ8",
    "artist": "artist_name 1"
}

    change artist property to:

    "artist": {"name": "artist_name 1"}

    or the url of resource:

    "artist": "/api/v1/user/1/"
