Question

I am trying to do a POST request using tastypie in django.

My Resource looks like below:

class TestResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        queryset = Test.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'test'
        serializer = Serializer(formats=['json','xml'])
        always_return_data = True
        detail_allowed_methods = ['get', 'post', 'put', 'delete']

And I am posting data like below:

import sys
import requests


DATA = {'field1':'posting data', 'field2':'123', 'field3':330303,}

def post(data):
    url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/test/'
    logging = {'verbose':sys.stderr}
    response = requests.post(url,data=data,config=logging)
    print "RESPONSE STATUS", response.status_code
    print "RESPONSE HEADERS", response.headers



if __name__=='__main__':
    post(DATA)

I am always getting 401, any idea?
What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You will need to set

Authorization=Authorization()

The default authorization implmented by tastypie is

ReadOnlyAuthorization()

which results in, you guessed it, readonly results, hence it will cause errors.

Do take note that it is not the best practice to do that however. There are other methods of Authorizations that can be used.
