Question

I am creating a Tastypie API for my Django project. I have a models in django models.py like this:

class User(models.Model):
    nick = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
    email = models.CharField(max_length = 511)
    password = models.CharField(max_length = 63)
    reg_date = models.DateTimeField('register date')
    od_user = models.CharField(max_length = 1024)

    def __unicode__(self):
        aux = self.nick + " " + self.email
        return aux

and I also have a ModelResource for my Tastypie API like this:

class UserResource(ModelResource):
   class Meta:
      queryset = User.objects.all()
      resource_name = 'user'
      excludes = ['password']
      allowed_methods = ['get', 'post', 'put', 'delete']
      authorization = Authorization()
      always_return_data=True

   def obj_create(self, bundle, request=None, **kwargs):
      username, password = bundle.data['nick'], bundle.data['password']
      try:
          bundle.obj = User(nick, "email@test", password,timezone.now(),"od_test")
          bundle.obj.save()
      except IntegrityError:
          raise BadRequest('That username already exists')
      return bundle

but this doesn’t work. I’ve looked How to create or register User using django-tastypie API programmatically? but I don’t know how create a user in my database.

I use:

   curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"nick":"test2", "password":"alparch"}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/user/?format=json

to do POST method.

How can I create an object with a Tastypie API?

Answer 1

You can’t create a user with positional arguments in the way you have:

User(nick, "email@test", password,timezone.now(),"od_test")

Instead, you must use keyword arguments:

User(nick=nick,
     email="email@test",
     ...
     )
