cannot upload image to django - django

Question

I need to upload an image to django server with django rest framework. I tried to post the image using httpie and I am getting this error.
http 400 no image was submitted.
serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from myapp.models import *
class PhotoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
image = serializers.ImageField(max_length=None,use_url=True)
class Meta:
model = MyPhoto
fields = ('id', 'image')
models.py
from django.db import models
class MyPhoto(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='photos/', max_length=254)
views.py
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from myapp.models import *
from myapp.serializers import PhotoSerializer
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.parsers import FormParser, MultiPartParser
class PhotoList(APIView):
parser_classes = (FormParser, MultiPartParser)
def get(self, request, format=None):
photo = MyPhoto.objects.all()
serializer = PhotoSerializer(photo, many=True)
return Response(data=serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
def post(self, request, format=None):
serializer = PhotoSerializer(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()
return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
I have setMEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL.

Try this way. this might help you to resolve your issue.
views.py
from rest_framework.viewsets import ModelViewSet
from myapp.models import *
from myapp.serializers import PhotoSerializer
class PhotoList(ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = PhotoSerializer
queryset = MyPhoto.objects.all()
urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from myapp.views import PhotoList
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'photo', PhotoList, 'photo')
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^', include(router.urls)),
]
Just use url in browser http://localhost:8000/photo/.
