If you need to retrieve the full URL of a request in Django Rest Framework, you can do so by accessing the request object provided in your view. Here’s a step-by-step method to obtain the full request URL:
Access the Request Object: In DRF, the request object is passed to each view function and contains all the data and metadata about the request.
Get the Full URL: You can use request.build_absolute_uri() to get the full URL. This method uses the information in the request to construct the entire URL, including the schema and host.
`from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
class SampleView(APIView):
def get(self, request):
# Getting the full URL
full_url = request.build_absolute_uri()
#or
full_url = f”{request.scheme}://{request.get_host()}{request.get_full_path()}”
return Response({‘full_url’: full_url})
`
If you follow this, you’ll obtain the complete request URL.
