[Solved]-How to build a Django REST route that extracts multiple arguments from the URL?

Write a custom detail route and change the signature to pass in the additional kwarg you intend to use. Then, customize the url path.

from rest_framework.decorators import detail_route
from rest_framework import viewsets

class MyObjectsViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):

    @detail_route(methods=['get'], url_path='(?P<oid>\d+)')
    def get_with_objectid(self,request,pk=None, oid=None):
        queryset = ## Do something here with oid to return a list of myObjects
        serializer = MyObjectsSerializer(queryset) ## MyObjectsSerializer not shown here.
        return Response(serializer.data,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

Now your viewset will work with /api/MyObjects/60/59/ where pk=60 and oid=59. If the url_path was instead url_path='/thisthing/(?P(<oid>\d+)' then the viewset would register /api/MyObjects/60/thisthing/59.

You can have the following pattern:

url(r'^resource/(?P<clientId>[A-Za-z0-9]*)/(?P<token>[A-Za-z0-9]*)$', RestResource.as_view()),

And the RestResource class can look something like this:

class RestResource(View):
  def put(self, request, clientId, token):
    # Your code here
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(JSON_DATA_VARIABLE), content_type = "application/json", status = 200)

  def delete(self, request, clientId, token):
    # Your code here
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(JSON_DATA_VARIABLE), content_type = "application/json", status = 200)

It will accept “PUT” and “DELETE” requests and the parameters defined in the route will be received in the class method.

Without using regex drf provides path with type prefix, if you don’t have strict validation for "pk" and "otherArg". So,

Step 1: In urlpatters,

path('/api/<int:id>/<otherArg>/', YourViewset.action_name, name="action_name")

Step 2: In Viewset

@action(methods=['get'],detail=True/False)

Step 3: Below @action

def action_name(self, id, otherArg):

Now use id, otherArg/s in function.
Make changes and use.

Now, "@detail_route " has been replaced by "action" after DRF 3.8.
so, can be written as follows:

@action(methods=["get"], detail=True )
def article_sort(self, request, pk):  
    otherArg = request.query_params.get('otherArg')
    ...

when detail is true, fun will get pk from url path; so now full path is "/pk/article_sort/?otherArg=60"
