I am facing a bit of a situation,

Scenario: I got a django rest api running on my localhost:8000 and I want to access the api using my command line. I have tried urllib

Answer 1

If you are registering your serializers with DefaultRouter then your api will appear at

http://localhost:8000/api/ for an html view of the index
http://localhost:8000/api/.json for a JSON view of the index
http://localhost:8000/api/appname for an html view of the individual resource
http://localhost:8000/api/appname/.json for a JSON view of the individual resource

you can check the response in your browser to make sure your URL is working as you expect.

I had a similar problem, but found that it was the company's proxy that was preventing from pinging myself.
