TypeError: Object of type function is not JSON serializable in django

Question

I am trying to return the the string given in URL but I am getting this error TypeError: Object of type function is not JSON serializable don't know how to rectify this.

URL I am passing - http://127.0.0.1:8000/predict/?solute=CC(C)(C)Br&solvent=CC(C)(C)O

my views.py file

@api_view(['GET'])
def result(request):
    response = {}
    solute = request.data.get('solute',None)
    solvent = request.data.get('solvent',None)
    results = [solute,solvent]
    return Response({'result':result}, status=200)

Update: after correcting `result` to `results` it solved my problem

But it is returning an null response in the output rather than getting CC(C)(C)Br and CC(C)(C)O which are my inputs through URL

Answer 1

You seem to be passing the function result itself to Response

Answer 2

Looks like you ended up passing your view function itself as a value in the context dictionary which may not have been your intention. You may want to get things corrected this way:

@api_view(['GET'])
def result(request):
    response = {}
    solute = request.data.get('solute',None)
    solvent = request.data.get('solvent',None)
    results = [solute,solvent]
    return Response({'result':results}, status=200)

Note that the name of your view function is result and the value you intend store in the context dictionary is results
