Django REST Framework: Response is not defined error – Twitter API

I am trying to connect to Twitter API (tweepy) but it does not seem to work

my views.py


class TwitterAPI(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        consumer_key = 'XXX'
        consumer_secret = 'XXX'
        access_token = 'XXX'
        access_token_secret = 'XXX'

        auth = tw.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
        auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
        tw.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)
        
        return Response('OK')

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path(
        "auth/twitter/redirect/",
         views.TwitterAPI.as_view(),
    )
]

When I try tto access the url it throws an error
Exception Type: NameError
Exception Value: name ‘Response’ is not defined

When I tried to change the class, not tu use get, it also throws an error like GET is not allowed

Sorry I really can’t get how to connect to the twitter api in rest framwork

    The error occurs because Response is not defined. Fix the error by import Response first. Define the snippet below at the top of your class TwitterAPI

    from rest_framework.response import Response
