Blog API with Django Rest Framework 9 of 33 - Create Serializer and Create API View

** Blog API with Django Rest Framework ** is a project to build a RESTful API service for the blog we created in Advancing the Blog and Try Django 1.9.

RESTful API services allow our applications to connect with other applications using JSON-formatted data. An strong API can enhance our applications ability to provide value to other services and end users. This type of API is very common in modern web application development.

Generally the topics will include:
- Django Project Setup
- Class Based Views (& some Function Based Views)
- Models, Model Forms, Forms, Form Validation
- Integrate Bootstrap front-end framework.
- Django Registration Redux for Authentication/Registration
- And More

Hey is it necessary to have fields = [ ... ] for the PostDestroySerializer? It's not like the DestroyAPIView is displaying any fields

Hi
I'm trying to create endpoint for creation and follow your tutorial, do everything as in this and previous videos, but when I access the page through browser I dont see form for content creation and it dont says that GET method is not allowed in json, instead in header it says that allowed are GET, HEAD and OPTIONS, but not POST like in the video. Where may be an issue ?
