How to make create (POST) request using api in django-CodePudding

I wish to create new a data when any user was make any requests like Create Export Delete or Update but now I am working on Export.. I have two urls one is having data of tables (average_data urls) and one url which is have (audit_logs url) a data of user which will be created after when any user download an pdf format of the data .. so basically I wish to show which user on which time and which action he does it will get it on the audit_logs url

I am making request of post in data/views but getting error bad request at /audit_logs/create/

views.py

def averagePDF(request):
global fromDate
global toDate
global site
global device
global parameters
global interval
global data
headers = {
    'authorization': "Bearer X...............",
}
devices_url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/stations/list"
devices_params = {
    'id': device
}
devices = requests.request("GET", devices_url, headers=headers, params=devices_params)
response = HttpResponse()
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=Average Data.pdf'

elements = []


company_name = Paragraph(devices.json()[0]['site'], header_style)
elements.append(company_name)

report_data = Paragraph("Date: "   fromDate   " to "   toDate   " Station: "   devices.json()[0]['station'], title_style)
elements.append(report_data)

styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
styleN = styles['Normal']
styleN.wordWrap = 'CJK'

file_data = []
header = []
header.append("Timestamp")
header.append("Station")
for parameter in parameters:
    header.append(parameter)
file_data.append(header)
data2 = [[Paragraph(cell, styleN) for cell in row] for row in file_data]
width = (PAGE_WIDTH-50) / len(header)
table_header = Table(data2, colWidths=width, style=table_header_style)
elements.append(table_header)
table_data = []
for key, values in data.items():
    raw_data = []
    raw_data.append(str(key))
    raw_data.append(devices.json()[0]['station'])
    for value in values:
        raw_data.append(str(value))
    table_data.append(raw_data)
table_data2 = [[Paragraph(cell, styleN)for cell in row] for row in table_data]
tableRaw = LongTable(table_data2, colWidths=width, style=table_style)
elements.append(tableRaw)
doc.title = "Average Data"
meta_data = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
if meta_data:
    ip = meta_data.split(',')[-1].strip()
else:
    ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
**now=datetime.datetime.now()
# date_time = now.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f')
username=str(request.user)
action_type="Export"
action="Export"
ip_address=ip
audit_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/audit_logs/create/"
audit_parms={

    "action":action,

CodePudding user response：

You should take a look at djangorestframework https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/2-requests-and-responses/

This is the recommended way to write APIs with django.

CodePudding user response：

When you use requests for post in your case, you need pass data instead of params

It should be :

audit_obj=requests.post(audit_url, headers=headers, data=audit_parms)

Technically, when you do requests.post(url=your_url, params=your_params), the url will be like https://localhost?key=value with key value in params dictionary.
