Django Rest Swagger 2.0: How to pass data to POST api so that I can get it as request.POST['key']

Solution by daimon

I specify required parameters in yaml, which shows the field in swagger UI too. Now inside my view request.POST['key'] gives None. But request.body contains the required parameter. How should I modify the swagger settings so that view becomes able to access data with request.POST['key'].
