405 “Method POST is not allowed” in Django REST framework

Question

I am new in Django REST framework. Can someone explain why I get such error, if I make a POST request to \'/api/index/\'

405 Method Not Allowed
{\"detail\":\         


        

Answer 1

class ApiIndexView(APIView) 

instead of this please import from rest_framework import generics and change it to

class ApiIndexView(generics.ListCreateAPIView) 

There are many generic views. ListCreateAPIView is used for GET and POST and CreateAPIView is used only for POST methods
