django rest framework returning list instead of dict after serializering data

Question

I am returning some data but instead of dict I am getting list in return

my serializer.py file

class CommitteeDetailsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Committee
        fields = ['id','com_name', 'com_members_limit', 'com_amount_per_month', 
                 'com_starting_date', 'com_join_id', 'com_status']

my views.py

serializer = CommitteeDetailsSerializer(get_committee, many=True)

I am getting this data list

{
    "status": "success",
    "msg": "Done.",
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 19,
            "com_name": "My second Committee",
            "com_members_limit": 4,
            "com_amount_per_month": 1000,
            "com_starting_date": "2022-05-04",
            "com_join_id": "GR9PKKOX65",
            "com_status": "pending"
        }
    ]
}
    

what I want is dict here in data {}

Answer 1

In your views.py in the serializer you passed many=True, hence its returning a list. Remove that and you should get one single object serialized instead of a list.
