Python error: This method is only available to the class, not on instances

I am working on a Django application and have defined the line below in my urls.py

path('organizations/', views.OrganizationListView().as_view(), name='organizations'),

When I run my server, I get the error below

lib\site-packages\django\utils\decorators.py", line 11, in __get__
    raise AttributeError("This method is available only on the class, not on instances.")
AttributeError: This method is available only on the class, not on instances.

I understand that this must be because of the difference in calling a method on object vs class but not sure exactly what is causing it and how to resolve.

You're instantiating the class here, which you shouldn't. It should be:

path('organizations/', views.OrganizationListView.as_view(), name='organizations'),
