Turn off automatic pagination of Django Rest Framework ModelViewSet

And if you want paginator disabled for just one action:

@property
def paginator(self):
    self._paginator = super(NotesViewSet, self).paginator
    if self.action == 'the_action_you_want_pagination_disabled':
        self._paginator = None
    return self._paginator

use this in your ModelViewSet.

ModelViewSet or mixins.ListModelMixin automatically create pagination for us. You can stop it by paginator = None

class NotesViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):    
     queryset = Notes.objects.all()
     serializer_class = NotesWriteSerializer
     paginator = None

If you are using recent versions of DRF you just need to add pagination_class = None to your ModelViewSet definition.

class MyClassBasedView(ModelViewSet):
    pagination_class = None
    ...
