django rest image field

[muted tusk]

It is going to return the relative URL to the image (under the MEDIA_URL), not the image data directly.

this is for POST

the doc for POST shows "image": "string"

It would be better if you showed the whole doc section, but it looks like you anyway have to use multipart/form to upload an image, so i am going to assume it is just for representation, i.e. GET

{
  "title": "string",
  "body": "string",
  "image": "string",
  "alt": "string",
  "status": "D",
  "tags": [
    "string"
  ],
  "pin": true
}

so if this is not why i'm getting 400 error then i'm stuck :p

This is the first you have said anything about a HTTP400 ?

[supple acorn]

well the question wasn't about that
i am getting a 400 error when POSTing

but first need to understand the question i asked
