Django REST Framework (ModelViewSet), 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED

The problem is with urls.py. Because url(r'^.*$'... comes before url(r'^api/v1/, Django simply discards the latter and routes the request to the IndexView.

You don't need router in you url mapping, unless you have a customized action other than the following:

    def list(self, request):
        pass

    def create(self, request):
        pass

    def retrieve(self, request, pk=None):
        pass

    def update(self, request, pk=None):
        pass

    def partial_update(self, request, pk=None):
        pass

    def destroy(self, request, pk=None):
        pass

add this to your views.py:

account_list = AccountViewSet.as_view({
    'get': 'list',
    'post': 'create'
})

in urls.py:

 url(r'^account/$', account_list, name='account-list'),
