Please help me. I am beginner in django

trying to creat blog api model.py:

class Blog(models.Model):
    blog_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, editable=False)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False)
    description = models.TextField(null=False)
    image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

view.py

class BlogViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = BlogSerializer
    permission_classes = IsAuthenticated
    queryset = Blog.objects.all()

    def perform_create(self, serializer):
        serializer.save(user=self.request.user)

serializer.py:

class BlogSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    user = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Blog
        fields = '__all__'

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

from . import views
from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import (
    TokenObtainPairView,
)

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('blogs', views.BlogViewSet, basename='blogs')

urlpatterns = [
    path('users/login', views.MyTokenObtainPairView.as_view()),
    path('users/register', views.register_user, name='register'),
    path('users/profile', views.get_user_profile, name='profile'),

    path('blogs/', views.BlogViewSet, name='blogs'),

You need to call .as_view() to turn the (class-based) ViewSet into a function that will dispatch HTTP calls:

path('blogs/', views.BlogViewSet.as_view(), name='blogs'),

Since you however made a ViewSet, you can use a router [drf-doc] with:

from django.urls import path
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

from . import views
from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import (
    TokenObtainPairView,
)

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('blogs', views.BlogViewSet, basename='blogs')

urlpatterns = [
    path('users/login', views.MyTokenObtainPairView.as_view()),
    path('users/register', views.register_user, name='register'),
    path('users/profile', views.get_user_profile, name='profile'),

    path('avatar/', views.get_avatar, name='avatar'),
]

urlpatterns += router.urls
