Call a Django Rest Framework view within another Django Restframework view

Question

I've searched stack overflow and the internet for a solution to call a django restframework ListAPIView from anotehr django restframework APIView.

I've tried:

class ViewA(APIView):
   def get(request):
        response = ViewB.as_view({'get':'list'})(request)
        print response.render()
        # do other things with the response

However, I get the error:

    response = SubsidiariesStatisticsView.as_view({'get': 'list'})(request)
TypeError: as_view() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

How do I pass in a request from viewA to viewB and get a response? Also, class ViewB has a get_serializer_context method. How do I call that from ViewA?

This is not a very nice practice, and also a overkill. instead just write a function that does what you want and use it in both views.

I had similar case before and by following this issue from the official repo, changing my DRF View to ViewSet solved my problem. Just try modifying your views to extend from ViewSet or GenericViewSet or something.
