Extracting simple times

Unified API
1

I am making a bus time page for a singular bus stop and need help using data from the API to display times in a clear way. I currently extract data raw from the API and the time till the bus arrives is given in seconds (from the API) and the time outputs in ISO 8601 format. I would like to output time to the bus stop in minutes with the actual time outputted. I am using Django for this and attached is my code.

HTML code:

    {% for i in response %}
    <button class="button">{{i.lineId}} to
    {{i.destinationName}} </button> | 
   <body class="time"> <!--{{i.timeToStation}} seconds |--> {{i.expectedArrival}}</body> <button class ="button" style= background-color:yellow>Registration Plate: {{i.vehicleId}}</button><br><br>
        {% endfor %}

Views.py:

def home2(request):
    bluewater = '2400A070090A'
response=requests.get(f'https://api.tfl.gov.uk/StopPoint/{bluewater}/Arrivals')
    data = response.json()
return render(request,'home.html',{'response':data})

OK, just looking at How To Get Current Time In Django - Python Guides looks like to format a time in minutes and seconds by prepending

…strftime(‘%H:%M’)

to format the output to Hours and Minutes.

For some reason it still doesn’t seem to work. I’ve been forced to use the expectedArrival part of the API but it’s frustrating having 2022-11-09T11:10:10Z printed out as opposed to just simply 11:10
