This may be an issue since a Django REST framework view shouldn’t use this 
decorator.
If it is a regular Django view that returns a JSON response, then you should 
consider using the Django client directly.

Where does it redirects you to ? If it’s the login page, it means that somehow 
the login call didn’t work.

Hi Linovia,

Yes, I started with that.
Initially I was getting 403 (auth failure) since my backend handlers have 
@login_required decorator.

To overcome that i created a super user (python manage.py superuser) &
used those credentials as below.

# url = '/orca/api/v2/customer/'
# data = {'c_name':'Pnc', 'c_role':'API-Admin'}
# client = APIClient()
# client.login(username='admin', password='admin')
# response = client.post(url, data, format='json') 

After this I started was getting 302 (redirects).
Have you encountered similar issue before ?

Django REST framework comes with a test client named APIClient.
It will go through the middleware and urls before calling your API entry points 
which seems to be what you’re looking for.
The documentation about it is available at 
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#apiclient
