How do I create custom endpoints in Django APIs?

To create custom endpoints in Django APIs, you can use Django REST Framework. First, define your view, then map it to a URL.

Can you show me an example of a custom endpoint?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response

class MyCustomEndpoint(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        data = {'message': 'Hello, World!'}
        return Response(data)

Then, add it to your urls.py:

from django.urls import path
from .views import MyCustomEndpoint

urlpatterns = [
    path('my-endpoint/', MyCustomEndpoint.as_view()),
]

What if I want to handle POST requests?

You can handle POST requests by adding a post method to your view. Here's an example:

class MyCustomEndpoint(APIView):
    def post(self, request):
        data = request.data
        return Response({'received': data}, status=201)
