we can do this in much more simple way def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs): serializer = serializers.BrandSerializer(data=request.data) if serializer.is_valid(): serializer.save() return Response(serializer.data) Hope this helps. Thanks for tutorials

[@anishghosh420]

hey first of all your videos are great to understand how a django api works. I've been following and executing the django api for car specs till this video and i cannot move forward because i'm facing an issue i.e. when i put depth =1, the field on the running server does not appear and when i dont put any depth, the field appears and i select one of the options for my entries and perform POST but when i GET the entry values, the car_plan field is null always, it doesnt change no matter what i do. Please help me clear this so that i can move on to the next stages

[@codeenvironment]

Thank you Anish, When you choose to override create action/ method, you have to handle creating the nested object yourself, and when you use the depth variable the DRF form excludes the nested field therefore you should use a third party software like Postman or VSCode to test the API endpoints. Hope that helps you moving forward.

Does it matter much whether we override perform_create or create function? Thx.

[@codeenvironment]

I think it won’t matter if you manage to call it when you need it but as a best practice and taking the documentation as reference, it’s better to do it in the view

[@vaibhavsaxena3738]

why in create method Id always extra increment example: if id was 4 now when we send POST requ. new data Id will be 6 .

[@codeenvironment]

Hello Vaibhav, did mean that the id is getting incremented by 2 instead of 1 on each post request?

[@vaibhavsaxena3738]

@@codeenvironment yes

[@sarojpaudel7479]

It says django.utils.datastructures.MultiValueDictKeyError: 'user' for doing the same thing above. Can you please tell me what is the problem??

[@codeenvironment]

Sometimes you get this error if you don’t pass many = True to your serializer class
