django rest framework find url kwarg in APIView

Question

I have a url that looks like this:

url(r'^client_profile/address/(?P<id>.+)/$', views.ClientProfileAddressView.as_view())

And an APIView:

class ClientProfileAddressView(APIView):

    renderer_classes = (JSONRenderer,)
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)

    def put(self, request):
          ....

    def get(self, request):
          ....

In both put and get, I need to access the id url kwarg, the first one to update the object, the second to update it. How can I access the url argument in those methods?

This should work:

def put(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
      id = kwargs.get('id', 'Default Value if not there')

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
      id = kwargs.get('id', 'Default Value if not there')

Can you also explain where this comes from and link to the documentation where it is explained? This information is hard to find in the docs as I don't know exactly what to look for (it is not on the Class-based Views page)

As discussed here, one can get URL kwargs from the view object itself.

I think the OP, like me, was wondering how you discen this from the actual Django docs... so we can learn more related stuff...
