title: Django: Map data from an external APIs into a model?
body: <p>I am pulling in some JSON data from various external APIs. Their data may be structured like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"game": {
      "title": "Super Mario Bros. 3",
      "release": "1989",
      "players": 3,
      ..
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I'd like to store this directly in my database via this model:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Game(models.Model):
      name = models.CharField()
      debut = models.DateField()
      max_players = models.IntegerField()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can tell, the JSON attributes don't match up to the model's attributes.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean way to map each attribute to easily import this data? Is it possible do do this through django's deserialization module? Or will I need to create something of my own?</p>
