Serializer data is empty

Using Django Forms & APIs
1

Hi, I am new to use Django and this is my first project. The request data works okay however the serializer data is empty and I don’t know how to solve it. I used heroku to deploy my project, I am not sure whether it is related.
Here is my serializer

> class CreateRoomSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
     class Meta:
        model = Room
        fields = ('guest_can_pause', 'votes_to_skip')

Here is my view

class CreateRoomView(APIView):
    serializer_class=CreateRoomSerializer
    def post(self, request, format=None):
        if not self.request.session.exists(self.request.session.session_key):
            self.request.session.create()
       
        serializer = self.serializer_class(data=request.data)
        print(request.data)
       
        
        if serializer.is_valid():
            # serializer.save()
            
           
            print(serializer.data)
            print(request.data)
            print(serializer.data.get('guest_can_pause'))
            print(serializer.data.get('votes_to_skip'))
            guest_can_pause=serializer.data.get('guest_can_pause')
            votes_to_skip=serializer.data.get('votes_to_skip')
            
            
            print(guest_can_pause)
            print(votes_to_skip)

Here is the result I got

2022-04-03T15:55:24.114792+00:00 app[web.1]: {'method': 'POST', 'headers': {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, 'body': '{"votes_to_skip":2,"guest_can_pause":true}'}
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117254+00:00 app[web.1]: {}
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117261+00:00 app[web.1]: {'method': 'POST', 'headers': {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, 'body': '{"votes_to_skip":2,"guest_can_pause":true}'}
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117264+00:00 app[web.1]: None
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117896+00:00 app[web.1]: None
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117934+00:00 app[web.1]: None
2022-04-03T15:55:24.117973+00:00 app[web.1]: None

So the data is received, however, the serilizer.data is still empty.

You’ve trying send a body, but not a form data
At print(request.data) you need get <QueryDict: {‘csrfmiddlewaretoken’:, ‘guest_can_pause’: [‘your value’]> and etc
