Django rest APIs, automate documentation?
Another good idea would be to use Swagger. In Django, especially using DRF, you have the opportunity to integrate with Django Rest Swagger and generate automatic documentation for your endpoints. The only requirement is to provide with docstrings-documentation your API classes and methods.
ps: I have no affiliation with django rest swagger package or authors, just a frequent user
Ok first , to be more pratical, your create function needs to be like this
def create(self,request, *args,**kwargs): data = request.data logger.debug("%s" % data) request = (self.__dict__['request']) #parse the rest of your code here Also , why can't you swagger to easily set up your documentation it's going to be more easier for you, or maybe it's a requirement for you
