'dict' object has no attribute 'data'

I am writing Test Cases for API using Django framework, the GET method seems to be working all right but when it comes to POST error message always shows up:

'dict' object has no attribute 'data'.

Exact error is,

res = respo.post({'ticker': 'FIB','open': 7.0,'close':8.0,'volume':200}) File "C:\Users\sathya.m\Desktop\mydsite\companies\views.py", line 32, in post serializer = StockSerializer(data=request.data) AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'data'

views.py

def post(self,request):
    serializer = StockSerializer(data=request.data)
    if serializer.is_valid():
        serializer.save()
        return Response(serializer.data, status=200)

tests.py

def test_getDataDetails(self):
    respo = StockList()
    resp = respo.get({'username':'admin','password':'pass'})
    res = respo.post({'ticker': 'FIB','open': 7.0,'close':8.0,'volume':200})
    self.assertEqual(res.status_code,200)

Post is working fine, by using this below code:

def test_getUserDetails(self):
        url = '/user/'
        data = {"username": "Ramu", "first_name": "Ram", "last_name": "Ram", "email": "[email protected]"}
        headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
        r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
        self.assertEqual(r.status_code,201)

Your view's get and post methods expect a request object as argument, not a dict. You either have to provide this request object yourself or use django's test client (cf the part about testing in the fine manual)
