How to return HTTP 400 response in Django?
From my previous comment :
You can return a HttpResponseBadRequest
Also, you can create an Exception subclass like Http404 to have your own Http400 exception.
You can do the following:
from django.core.exceptions import SuspiciousOperationraise SuspiciousOperation("Invalid request; see documentation for correct paramaters")SuspiciousOperation is mapped to a 400 response around line 207 of https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/handlers/base.py
If you're using the Django Rest Framework, you have two ways of raising a 400 response in a view:
from rest_framework.exceptions import ValidationError, ParseErrorraise ValidationError# or raise ParseError
