How to access url kwargs in generic API views (ListCreateAPIView to be more specific) in django rest framework,
for example say I want to override the get_queryset() method inside a generic APIView class and I want it to use values as extracted from url kwargs, how would I do this?

Answers from leelum1 and aman kumar helped me a lot, since I had the same question. I would add a particular example of how I used their answers. In the code below I try to obtain all the products that have as category attribute the same string passed on the cat variable from the url.
class ListProductsView(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
serializer_class = ProductSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
queryset = Product.objects.filter(category=self.kwargs['cat'])
return queryset
That solved my problem of filtering objects by using variables from the url.

I spend a lot of time finding the answer to this question. Finally found it in my old written code. It works like a charm.
self.request.query_params.get('<name>')
I hope that is someone is still looking to get an answer this will help you :)

You can access below like
def get_queryset(self):
data = self.kwargs.get("key-name")

If you want to use the get_queryset() method you can do something like this
def get_queryset(self):
queryset = Model.objects.filter(parameter=self.kwargs['thing'])
return queryset
