Nested for loop to output objects in QuerySet within a certain range

Using Django
1

I am trying to build this nested for loop and my idea is that when I go to a URL like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/posts/search?start=1&end=3 it will show me the posts within that range.

So far this is what I have:

def posts_search(request):

    start = int(request.GET.get("start") or 0)
    end = int(request.GET.get("end") or (start + 9))


    posts = Post.objects.all()
    data = []
    

    for i in range(start, end + 1):
        for post in posts:
            x = post
    data.append(x)

    time.sleep(1)

    return JsonResponse([post.serialize() for post in data
    ], safe=False)

The problem is when I go to that URL above, it is only outputting one post, the last post in the posts QuerySet. Regardless what start or end value I use in the URL. When I amend the for loop to this:

for i in range(start, end + 1):
        for post in posts:
            data.append(post)

The URL above outputs the whole posts QuerySey 3 times. Please could someone help me get this for loop right.

SOLVED:

    start = int(request.GET.get('start') or 0)
    end = int(request.GET.get('end') or start + 9)
    posts = Post.objects.all()[start:end]
    return JsonResponse(
        {'data': [post.serialize() for post in posts]}
    )
