You can do something like that

class BooksAPI(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Books.objects.none()


def get_queryset(self):
    argumentos = {}
    if self.request.query_params.get('age'):
        argumentos['age'] = self.request.query_params.get('age')
    if self.request.query_params.get('gender'):
        argumentos['gender'] = self.request.query_params.get('gender')
    if len(argumentos) > 0:
        books = Books.objects.filter(**argumentos)
    else:
        books = Books.objects.all()
    return books
