Answer 1

I am using Python==3.8.2 , Django==3.0.4, djangorestframework==3.11.0

I tried self.client.post but got a Resolver404 exception.

Following worked for me:

import requests
upload_url='www.some.com/oaisjdoasjd' # your url to upload
with open('/home/xyz/video1.webm', 'rb') as video_file:
    # if it was a text file we would perhaps do
    # file = video_file.read()
    response_upload = requests.put(
        upload_url,
        data=video_file,
        headers={'content-type': 'video/webm'}
    )
