Django returns 403 error when sending a POST request

Question

when I\'m using following Python code to send a POST request to my Django website I\'m getting 403: Forbidden error.

url = \'http://www.sub.domain.com/\'
values          


        

Answer 1

Or you can allow the permission to make this post request.

Note: Should be used in the cases where you don't need to authenticate the users for posting anything on our server, say, when a new user registers for the first time.

from rest_framework.permissions import AllowAny

class CreateUser(APIView):
    permission_classes = (AllowAny,)
    def post(self, request, format=None):
        return(Response("hi"))

Further Note that, If you want to make that post request form a different domain (in case when the front of the application is in React or angular and the backend is in Django), make sure the add following in the settings file:

1. Update the INSTALLED_APPS to use 'coreHeaders' :

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   'corsheaders',
   ]

2. White list your front end domain by adding following to settings file again:

   CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST = ( 'localhost:8080', )
