python - Django, capturing client IP getting -

i trying capture client ip , store log in database, have tried using packages ipware still getting same error when run application

  file "/users/abdul/documents/tutorial/drftutorial/urls.py", line 2, in <module> . import views file "/users/abdul/documents/tutorial/drftutorial/views.py", line 24, in <module> class usercreateview(generics.createapiview): file "/users/abdul/documents/tutorial/drftutorial/views.py", line 27, in usercreateview ip=get_client_ip(request) file "/users/abdul/documents/tutorial/drftutorial/views.py", line 17, in get_client_ip x_forwarded_for = request.meta.get('http_x_forwarded_for') attributeerror: 'module' object has no attribute 'meta' 

i believe error happening because not accessing request method properly, using django-restframework , tutorial followed did not pass request object when calling view.

here code:

def get_client_ip(request):     x_forwarded_for = request.meta.get('http_x_forwarded_for')     if x_forwarded_for:         ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[-1].strip()     else:         ip = request.meta.get('remote_addr')     return ip  class usercreateview(generics.createapiview):     action = 'user registered'     response1 = 'success'     ip=get_client_ip(request)     print ip     if ip not none:         ip="could not ip"     else:         print(" got ip!")     print (" here!")     logadd(action,response1,ip)     serializer_class = userserializer 

please try this:

def get_client_ip(request):     if 'http_x_forwarded_for' in request.meta:         x_forwarded_for = request.meta.get('http_x_forwarded_for')         ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]     else:         ip = request.meta.get('remote_addr')     return ip
