Django rest framework error

[Soumen Khatua]

Hi Folks,

I'm getting this error, I don't know how to solve it:

File "C:\Users\TildeHat\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\json\encoder.py", line 179, in default
    raise TypeError(f'Object of type {o.__class__.__name__} '
TypeError: Object of type User is not JSON serializable

This is my code:

Views.py:

--------------

class LocationApiView(APIView):
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
    def get(self,request,format=None):
        user = request.user
        user_location = Profile.objects.get(user = user)
        return Response({'user':user}, status = status.HTTP_200_OK)

urls.py

----------------

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/location/',views.LocationApiView.as_view(),name = 'api_location')

]

btw when I'm sending a normal message it's working fine. But in this case I'm getting this error.

Thank You

Regards,

Soumen

Can you show us your serializer.py file?

If I'm using serializer then it's working fine but I want to return only database object. So for that Do I need to add serializer.

Thank you for your response.

You do have to serialize your responses, you just can't send Python objects as an HTTP response, think about the content-type of your requests

Try

 from django.http import JsonResponse

And use jsonresponse instead
