Handling expired verification when using DJANGO-REST-AUTH

[Opeyemi Odedeyi]

good day, I am using Django-rest-auth package in a project I am building. I have email verification set to mandatory and it expires within 2 days.

My issue is that after I try using the link after it has expired, I get a weird browser error message saying 

```

NoReverseMatch at /api/signup/account-confirm-email/MQ:1j3qDl:rdNt45LkoDhdHsE_OUDFQqW95TY/

Reverse for 'account_login' is not a valid view function or pattern name

```

I would like to get either a redirect to a verification email URL on my api or JSON response message instead, saying that it has expired. Please how do I go about this?

PLEASE NOTE: I am using django-rest-auth

The html page you see is likely a django template in that project `django-rest-auth` .  You should be able to locate and edit that template to your need.

Alternatively, you can write your own endpoint for verification.

yeah i have an endpoint for users to request a new verification email. my problem, as I said earlier, was that I was lost on how to redirect the user instead of getting that error.

What I meant is that your code should be able to process `/api/signup/account-confirm-email/MQ:1j3qDl:rdNt45LkoDhdHsE_OUDFQqW95TY/`  

or the equivalent in your custom framework.   Did you write code to process this particular endpoint or your “endpoint” just trigger verification email?

 Also, I don’t think this topic is specifically DRF and therefore should be directed to the group dedicated to django-rest-auth
