[Django]-Django/DRF – 405 Method not allowed on DELETE operation

45👍

✅

The response looks very similar to that of the list view (/api/resource/) for a ViewSet. List views only support GET, to list all of the objects, and POST to create a new object.

DELETE requests are only allowed on the detail view (/api/resource/1/). This is because Django REST Framework needs to know what object you are looking to delete, and this information cannot be retrieved from just the list view.

If you need to connect http method DELETE with URL without pk in DRF try this inside of your ModelViewSet:

@action(methods=['delete'], detail=False)
def delete(self, request):
    # your code

UPD: Note that action attribute inside of ModelViewSet class will be None due request. If you check it somewhere, handle not only action name, but request method and request path.
