Getting 'str' object has no attribute 'get' in Django

Question

views.py

def generate_xml(request, number):
    caller_id = \'x-x-x-x\'
    resp = twilio.twiml.Response()

    with resp.dial(callerId=caller_id) as r:
             


        

Answer 1

Django views must always return an HttpResponse object, so try wrapping that string in an HttpResponse:

from django.http import HttpResponse
return HttpResponse(str(resp))

Additionally, the number variable in generate_xml will contain only the string 'number', not the GET parameter. To get that, you might use:

request.GET.get('id')
