csv download is not including all the results in a django application
Hi,
im trying to build a web app with python and django, in this application a user can enter a list of websites, the results will show the website status, the website title, the website summary, the email, the phone number, facebook and instagram links if present. At the end the user can download the results as csv, btw the csv is showing only 1 result, and even incomplete (the website, the phone, the email, fb and instagram are missing). What am i doing wrong? attached the base.html and result.html files and here is my views.py file
any idea how i can solve this?
thanks!

The first thing I would do to debug this is to go to ChatGPT, give it the parameters of what you're trying to do, give it the python code and ask how you can improve the results.
