django path is not recognizing its intended view

code: urls.py

path('tools/<int:rate>/', ToolsView.as_view(), name="get-all-tools"),

path('tools/post/', ToolsView.as_view(), name="save-tool"),

code: views.py

class ToolsView(APIView):
    
    def get(self, request, rate):
        objs = ToolsModel.objects.values_list()[:rate]
        if objs is None:
            return Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
        data = []
        for obj in objs:
            print(obj)
            json = {}
            json['toolid'] = obj[0]
            json['tool_name'] = obj[1]
            json['tool_from'] = obj[2]
            json['tool_qty'] = obj[3]
            json['tool_state'] = obj[4]
            data.append(json)
        return Response(data=data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

    def post(self, request):
        data = request.data
        serialize = ToolsSerializer(data=data)
        if serialize.is_valid():
            serialize.save()
            return Response(status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)

Whenever i call for tools/post/ intended to call post method

http://127.0.0.1:8000/help/tools/post/

i get

get() missing 1 required positional argument: 'rate'

but rate parameter is actually needed for 'tools/<int:rate>/' which invokes my get method ,example,

http://127.0.0.1:8000/help/tools/5/

Needed help with these. Thanks in advance!

if you put http://127.0.0.1:8000/help/tools/post/ into your browser, you will be performing a GET on the URL. In your urls.py you map that route to ToolsView.as_view(). This allows you to handle the different HTTP Methods via functions. So def post will get called when a POST is requested. But you are likely doing a GET, which will call the def get(...) method. But because you aren't passing in a rate it's missing from the function arguments, hence the error. To test the post method you need to perform a POST to http://127.0.0.1:8000/help/tools/post/.

Test Code:

import requests

requests.post("http://127.0.0.1:8000/help/tools/post/", data={})
