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
