Typically, you must either set this attribute, or override the `get_queryset()` method. * `serializer_class` - The serializer class that should be used for validating and deserializing input, and for serializing output. Typically, you must either set this attribute, or override the `get_serializer_class()` method. -* `lookup_field` - The field that should be used to lookup individual model instances. Defaults to `'pk'`. The URL conf should include a keyword argument corresponding to this value. More complex lookup styles can be supported by overriding the `get_object()` method. Note that when using hyperlinked APIs you'll need to ensure that *both* the API views *and* the serializer classes use lookup fields that correctly correspond with the URL conf. +* `lookup_field` - The model field that should be used to for performing object lookup of individual model instances. Defaults to `'pk'`. Note that when using hyperlinked APIs you'll need to ensure that *both* the API views *and* the serializer classes set the lookup fields if you need to use a custom value. +* `lookup_url_kwarg` - The URL keyword argument that should be used for object lookup.
