API

I've been stuck on this for a while and I have difficulties looking for a solution. I have an application that calls an api and it was hosted in a docker and a reverse proxy in apache. I noticed that every time I request to any of my apis, I always get weird behaviour like the actual error message (which is in json format) are not being displayed. After a long investigation, I noticed that the api that returns an error (e.g.: 400, 401, etc..) always returns html error message/page. If you are like me, hope you find this 😀 Just add this line: <If "%{HTTP_ACCEPT} =~ /json/"> ProxyErrorOverride Off </If> In your apache vhost config.  

Below are ways to fix AttributeError: 'Request' object has no attribute 'accepted_renderer' error.   1. Install pyyaml pip install pyyaml   OR   2. Revert Django REST Framework (DRF) pip install djangorestframework==3.8.0   OR   3. Ignore decode on your ViewSet class MyCoolViewset(viewsets.ModelViewSet): def _clean_data(self, data): if isinstance(data, bytes): data = data.decode(errors='ignore') return super(MyCoolViewset, self)._clean_data(data)  

If you are using Django REST framework on serving your APIs, you probably did the below code in returning the related object in your serializer. class MyTableSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): user = UserSerializer(many=False, read_only=True) class Meta: fields = '__all__' model = MyTable But doing this will not allow your API to pass the foreign key id. Instead, you need to include the field name in the serializer like the code below: class MyTableSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): user = UserSerializer(many=False, read_only=True) user_id = serializers.IntegerField(write_only=True) class Meta: fields = '__all__' model = MyTable
