If you are using the Django Rest framework. Use the below code to return the HTTP response to resolve this issue.

from django.http import HttpResponse

def TestAPI(request):
    # some logic
    return HttpResponse('Hello')

JSON Response return example:

def TestAPI(request):
    your_json = [{'key1': value, 'key2': value}]
    return HttpResponse(your_json, 'application/json')
