Django returning webpage instead of JSON

I am fairly new to Django and am trying to implement a basic REST API in Django. I am having a news list in MySQL Database, and following various tutorials, successfully managed to implement a webservice that responds the news list.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest/news_infos/

The above URL(local) produces the following page:

enter image description here

As you can see, I am getting a webpage here. But what I actually needed is that the above API to return just the json. I don't want to have this kind of pages available in my webservice, just the JSON response. Of course I can get it json only by appending format=json to the request. But that is not what I require. I want the web page to be gone and calling http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest/news_infos/ to return the json instead.

Following is my views.py code:

from rest_framework import viewsets
from .models import NewsContent, NewsInfo
from .serializers import NewsContentSerializer, NewsInfoSerializer

class NewsContentViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
    queryset = NewsContent.objects.all()[:10]
    serializer_class = NewsContentSerializer

class NewsInfoViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = NewsInfo.objects.all()[:10]
    serializer_class = NewsInfoSerializer

Please let me know if any other code/info is required. Couldn't find any proper solution online.

Change DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES in settings.py as

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
    )
}


It could be done view level by providing renderer_classes as,

from rest_framework import renderers


class MyView(...):
    renderer_classes = [renderers.JSONRenderer]
