CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect

Question

I'm using Django 1.7 and django-rest-framework.

I made an API that returns me some JSON data putting this in my settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': ('rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',),
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
    #   'rest_framework.renderers.XMLRenderer',
    'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
    #   'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
    )
}

When I make GET calls, it returns me all the data, but when I try with PUT/PATCH I get:

--------Response Headers---------
Status Code: 403
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 18:51:42 GMT
Vary: Cookie
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.8
Allow: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Type: application/json
---------------------------------

--------Response Body-----------
{"detail": "CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect."}
---------------------------------

This only happens when I am logged in, if I am anonymous I can PUT/PATCH correctly.

I have tried with @csrf_exempt and I got errors, I have included the rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny in the setting...

I have no idea what's going on. Does anyone know what the issue is?

Answer 1

I had similar problem, I've wrapped my URLs under csrf_exempt method as -

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

url(r'^api/v1/some-resource$', csrf_exempt(SomeApiView.as_view())),
