New to Django and trying to implement a REST api. Here is the code:

from views.py

class reg_event(generics.CreateAPIView):
     queryset = event_registration_stub.objects.all()
     serializer_class = serializers.EventRegistrationStubSerializer

     def perform_create(self, serializer):
         serializer.save(parent_volunteer=self.request.user)


class reg_event_delete(generics.DestroyAPIView):
     queryset = event_registration_stub.objects.all()
     serializer_class = serializers.EventRegistrationStubSerializer

def perform_destroy(self, serializer):
    instance.delete(parent_volunteer=self.request.user, parent_event=self.kwargs["parent_event"])

Here is the serializer: 

class  EventRegistrationStubSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
      parent_volunteer = serializers.ReadOnlyField(source='parent_volunteer.id')
     class Meta:
         model = event_registration_stub
         fields = ('id', 'parent_event', 'parent_volunteer')

And from urls.py

    url(r'^register_user_for_event/$', views.reg_event.as_view(), name='register_user_for_event'),
    url(r'^delete_user_for_event/$', views.reg_event_delete.as_view(), name='delete_user_for_event'),

register user for event works. However the following:

   curl -X POST -d "parent_event=1" -H 'Authorization: Token 21cc749c43bf80f27598987cd5a9926d988ba64c' http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/delete_user_for_event/

returns 

"POST /api/delete_user_for_event/ HTTP/1.1" 405 41

I tried looking at 405 POST method not allowed

But I'm not sure what is wrong with my urls. Is my perform destroy incorrect? Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to send destroy request with curl, you should use:

curl -X DELETE ...

generics.DestroyAPIView has only delete method. That's why you get 405 error when sending post request
