Please I am also getting this same error. "POST /api/v1/auth/login/ HTTP/1.1" 405 0. how did you fix it?

[mayordwells]

I fixed this error after about 24hrs of tackling the problem. The main problem is a "TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'" Which is returned by this Line - "data = json.loads(request.body)" in your views.py. But if you are receiving the - POST /api/v1/auth/login/ HTTP/1.1" 405 0 This is because Django Python is talking to the Wrong view in another views.py class LoginView(TemplateView): template_name = 'login.html'

@method_decorator(ensure_csrf_cookie)
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
    return super(LoginView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

Remove this import from your urls.py and make sure to import only the LoginView from authentication app, this - from authentication.views import AccountViewSet, LoginView Then change this line in authentication.views.py from #data = json.loads(request.body) to data = request.data. I had to contact the developer of DRF to get this solution. I hope it helps.
