Inner funtion gives error in Django Rest Framework

I have inner functions inside the main function with an IF statement but when the if condition is applied it gives this error (AssertionError: The request argument must be an instance of django.http.HttpRequest, not rest_framework.request.Request.) How can I solve this issue? Any help, please? views.py from .api_option23 import api_option23 from .api_option23 import api_option45 @api_view(["GET", "POST"]) def apiscanning(request, qrcode, action, curr_user): if request.method == "GET" or request.method == "POST": if action ==1: #do something elif action ==2: api_option23(request, parameters) elif action ==3: api_option45(request, parameters)
