Django 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'data'

I am trying to do a post request to a API, and save the result into one of my database table.

This is my code.

This is my model. patientId is a foreign key to the userId of MyUser table

class MyUser(AbstractUser):
    userId = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=6, blank=True, null=True)
    nric = models.CharField(max_length=9, blank=True, null=True)
    birthday = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
    birthTime = models.TimeField(blank=True, null=True)

class BookAppt(models.Model):
    clinicId = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    patientId = models.ForeignKey(MyUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    scheduleTime = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
    ticketNo = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20)

view.py . The api url is from another django project

@csrf_exempt
def my_django_view(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        r = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/makeapp/', data=request.POST)
    else:
        r = requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/makeapp/', data=request.GET)

    if r.status_code == 201 and request.method == 'POST':
        data = r.json()
        print(data)
        patient = request.data['patientId']
        patientId = MyUser.objects.get(id=patient)

        saveget_attrs = {
            "patientId": patientId,
            "clinicId": data["clinicId"],
            "scheduleTime": data["created"],
            "ticketNo": data["ticketNo"],
            "status": data["status"],
        }
        saving = BookAppt.objects.create(**saveget_attrs)

        return HttpResponse(r.text)
    elif r.status_code == 200:  # GET response
        return HttpResponse(r.json())
    else:
        return HttpResponse(r.text)

the result in the print(data) is this.

[31/Jan/2018 10:21:42] "POST /api/makeapp/ HTTP/1.1" 201 139 {'id': 22, 'patientId': 4, 'clinicId': '1', 'date': '2018-07-10', 'time': '08:00 AM', 'created': '2018-01-31 01:21:42', 'ticketNo': 1, 'status': 'Booked'}

But the error is here

File "C:\Django project\AppImmuneMe2\customuser\views.py", line 31, in my_django_view patient = request.data['patientId'] AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'data'

Django rest framework has own Request object, You need to use the api_view decorator to enable this request type inside function view, Just write before function @api(['GET' as an example])

Change this line

patient = request.data['patientId']

for this line:

patient = request.POST['patientId']

well if you are printing the data and you can see the patientId inside it, why are you trying to use request for that?

it can be done like this

    data = r.json()
    print(data)
    patient = data['patientId']
    patientId = MyUser.objects.get(id=patient)
