I am trying to use insomnia for POST requests for testing my API in a Django application.
I am getting this CSRF token error. I saw this post here Django CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect
which tells me that I need to set my CSRF Token in my headers but I get this new error in return under Live Preview "No cookies in store for URL".
Does anyone know a workaround to this problem?

I'm using javascript with a Django api to submit a modal form.
I'm sending a CSRF cookie that works in other circumstances (like on other browsers or with other forms in Chrome), but when I submit a Django form, but it fails on chrome and I get the following error:
Error:
Forbidden (403) CSRF verification failed.
Request aborted.
Reason given for failure: CSRF token missing or incorrect.
I know for a fact that I'm sending the CSRF cookie, as I can see it in the inspect element.
csrfmiddlewaretoken=*sometoken*
How might I fix this and what other information do you need?
I've been using the Django admin panel for my project the entire time and suddenly after I cleaned my cookies it just won't work again it keep sending me this error:
Forbidden (403) CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Help:
Reason given for failure:
CSRF token missing or incorrect.
I am answering this question from the very less information available.
When you delete your cookies, the session-key stored on your browser side will be deleted. This way any API calls made after that will result in 403 error. Just to make sure this is correct, you can open your incognito tab in google chrome and try the same request after logging in.
While the site loads smoothly through the browser,but when i send a POST request via postman or a REST API client, i am getting a csrf error.
"CSRF cookie not set."
IS THERE A WAY TO SEND A REQUEST SKIPPING CSRF?
You need to use csrf_exempt decorator on your view : this will disable the check of the csrf token

I'm trying to test my web server's login with Postman. First, I send a GET request to my login url, and I get a CSRF token as a cookie. Then, I make a POST request to that login page, with my username, password, and CSRF token.
My problem is, when I do this in Postman, I get a 403 forbidden error when I try to make that POST request to login. I'm copying the CSRF token received and putting it as one of the POST parameters, and I'm using a valid username and password. Is there anything I'm overlooking here?
You need to set it as a header in the request, not in the body. X-CSRFToken is the key and the value is CSRF token from the cookie. This will work if you are using an API framework like Tastypie or Django Rest Framework.
If you are authenticating without an API layer you would need to actually attach the cookie or create one with the CSRF token. This post explains it.
Try installing the Postman Interceptor Extension on GoogleChrome. It worked for me.
Works for me :
Set in Postman Header :
KEY : Authorization
Value : Token "Your token"
I'm using the chrome rest client to test the api calls.
A GET request is working fine but while making a POST request , getting 403 hidden response.
description is
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted
I'm setting as Content-Type=application/json.
One way would be to use #csrf_extempt, but seems to be good choice.
How to resolve above issue ?
Using #csrf_extempt is infact a good practice when you are providing an API to your site. Cross-site request forgery is what csrf is but in your case it won't be a forgery since an api can(should) be called from any site but yours.
.
Moreover sharing csrf token will prove to be very tricky.
In thre request, include an X-CSRFToken header with the CSRF token value obtained from the csrftoken cookie.
