# View the Contents of Redis Directly from the Terminal in Django

Here is the method to directly view the contents of Django Redis from the Django shell.

```shell
./manage.py shell
```

```python
from django_redis import get_redis_connection

# Create a Redis connection
r = get_redis_connection('default')

# Get a list of keys with a limit
r.scan(count=1000)

# Get a list of keys with a pattern
r.keys('ranking_cache_*')

# The contents are pickled, so they cannot be read as is
r.get('my_cache_key')

# Unpickle to read the contents
import pickle
pickle.loads(r.get('my_cache_key'))
```
