Understanding and Customizing the Browsable API Feature
In this chapter, we will work with one of the most interesting and powerful features included in the Django REST framework: the browsable API. This feature makes it easy for us to interact with our RESTful Web Services through any web browser. We will gain an understanding of:
- Understanding the possibility of rendering text/HTML content
- Using a web browser to work with our web service
- Making HTTP GET requests with the browsable API
- Making HTTP POST requests with the browsable API
- Making HTTP PUT requests with the browsable API
- Making HTTP DELETE requests with the browsable API
- Making HTTP OPTIONS requests with the browsable API
