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

I got this error when an authentication Token was expired or when no Token was sent with the request. Using a renewed token fixed the problem.

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token mytoken" -d "name=myname&age=0" 127.0.0.1:8000/myapi/

or

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: JWT mytoken" -d "name=myname&age=0" 127.0.0.1:8000/myapi/

depending on Token type.
