Django rest framework modelviewsets custom response

You can override the ModelViewSet response to do this. I am assuming this is only in case of a PUT request. Then you can do this:

class MyModelViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    def update(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyModelViewSet, self).update(request, *args, **kwargs)
        return Response({"status": "Success"})  # Your override

This is the original code for def update:

def update(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    partial = kwargs.pop('partial', False)
    instance = self.get_object()
    serializer = self.get_serializer(instance, data=request.data, partial=partial)
    serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
    self.perform_update(serializer)

    if getattr(instance, '_prefetched_objects_cache', None):
        # If 'prefetch_related' has been applied to a queryset, we need to
        # forcibly invalidate the prefetch cache on the instance.
        instance._prefetched_objects_cache = {}

    return Response(serializer.data)  # This is the original code

You can find it in the UpdateModelMixin in DRF
