Answer 1

Make sure you a passing the content type header during your post and put request, as that how django_rest_framework understand which parser it will use. django rest framework supports content type of form-data, json, x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart out of the box

r =request.post(url=URL, data=json_data,headers={ 'Content-Type':'application/json'})    

Answer 2

TL;DR: You need to pass the payload as json<\/code> argument in requests.post<\/code> :

data = {
   "name": "sa",
   "roll": 1,
   "city": "lam"
}

r = requests.post(url=URL, json=data)

Answer 3

import json
import requests
url = "https://127.0.0.1:8000/api/studentapi/"
data_response = {
   "name": "sa",
   "roll": 1,
   "city": "lam"
}
data_json =  json.dumps(data_response)
req =  requests.post(url, data=data_json)
