I am new to django. Can anybody help me... How can I upload a file using the Rest Framework API ?
I have tried following this page:

JSONParser. Parses JSON request content. request. data will be populated with a dictionary of data. .media_type: application/json.
Django REST framework (DRF) is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Its main benefit is that it makes serialization much easier. Django REST framework is based on Django's class-based views, so it's an excellent option if you're familiar with Django.
Renderers are used to serialize the response into a specific media type like JSON, XML, YAML, etc. Django REST Framework provides various built-in renderer classes and it also supports to write a custom renderer.
File uploading in Django REST framework is the same with uploading files in multipart/form in django.
To test it you can use curl:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -u {username}:{password} \
-F "{field_name}=@{filename};type=image/jpeg" http://{your api endpoint}
Other fields are just like normal form fields in Django.

Zhe answer is pretty well. Besides, you can add some parameters in order to see the response. Take this one for example:
curl -X PATCH --dump-header - -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -u jorge:123456 -F "image=@/home/oscar/Pictures/dgnest/_MG_6445.JPG;type=image/jpeg" http://localhost:8000/api/project/3/
