title: how do you include a csrf token when testing a POST endpoint in django?
body: <p>I am learning how to make an api endpoint and I am trying to write a test to see if a post request returns a 200 status code. I plan on writing more tests to see if the endpoint is returning all the expected results as well.  I keep getting a 403 status code and I think it is because I need to include a csrf token in the post data. What is a good way to test a POST endpoint in django? </p>
  
  <p>my Test: </p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.test import TestCase
  from app import settings
  import requests
  
  class ProjectEndpoint(TestCase):
     def post_endpoint(self):
        data = {'hello':'23'}
        post_project = requests.post(settings.BASE_URL+'/api/project', params=data)
        self.assertEqual(post_endpoint.status_code, 200)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This test keeps failing with 403 != 200</p>
  
  <p>I think it is because the view is protected against csrf attacks, but I am really not sure. Appreciate any insight that someone has. </p>
