Receiving parameters with APIView

Question

I have this routing:

   url(r'^article/(?P<article_id>\d+)/', views.ArticleList.as_view())

which leads to this function:

class RSSList(APIView):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        article_id = kwargs.get('article_id')

But when I try to query something like /article/34

I get this error:

TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'article_id'

How can I pass article_id to get()?

Thank you

`RSSList` is not the problem, you are missing `*args, **kwargs` somewhere else. Maybe in `ArticleList` instead of `RSSList`? — hoefling, Nov 06 '17 at 12:42
You're using `ArticleList` class in your routing! But you're fetching `article_id` inside of `RSSList` class instead! — AbdolHosein, Jul 05 '19 at 20:25

You can get like this also:

def get(self, request, article_id):
   print(article_id) #for >3.2
   print article_id # for 2.7

If you want to make it optional:

def get(self, request, article_id=None):
