Your author field needs to be passed an actual user in your project.

It seems you’re accessing your API endpoint without being logged in, so Django creates this AnonymousUser instance to represent that. That, however, is not an actual User and thus it cannot be assigned to a field that requires a user.

However, it seems you are actually protecting your API view with a a IsAuthenticated permission, so I don’t fully understand why DRF is not returning a permission denied error.

Can I ask also why do you have the author field on your serializer commented out?

commented the author field in serializer because it didn’t work
