Try request.data instead of request.POST. JSON Content is sent in body, which is parsed by Django Rest Framework at runtime.

login_variable = request.data['login']

And ensure you have added 'JSONParser' in REST_FRAMEWORK settings.

Have you added JSONParser in your rest framework settings

Send 'Content-Type': 'application/json' headers in your request
