Need to get the current user's id without request object in tastypie resource

In my django application, I need to get the current user's id(id of logged in user) inside tastypie resource. Here I don't have access to request object due to which I am having the problem.

Here is the file: myapi.py

from tastypie.resources import Resource

class Rating(Resource):
    def get_table(obj):
        table = Table(TABLE_NAME_2)
        return table

    class Meta:
        resource_name = 'rating'
        serializer = urlencodeSerializer()
        object_class = DynamoObject
        always_return_data = True
    def obj_get_list(self, bundle, **kwargs):
        table = self.get_table()
        ### need to get user_id from view
        user_id = 2
        items = table.query(user_id__eq = user_id, limit= 1 , consistent = True)
        items = [i for i in items]
        my_items = []
        if len(items) == 0:
            my_items.append(DynamoObject(initial={"photo_id": "0"}))
        else:
            for item in items:
                my_items.append(DynamoObject(initial=dict(item)))
        return my_items

How do I achieve this?

I don't know whether is it feasible or not in your case but you can read inside the request before the control goes to the API using a middleware in django. After reading the request object in middleware, you may forward it you API object. More on django middleware

You can get access to the request object from the bundle argument. Your code then becomes

user_id = bundle.request.user.id

See the bundle docs for an explanation of this object.
