[Python] Django - context must be a dict rather than ReturnList

I am working on a Django project and I have a Post Model, which has this view:

class PostListApiView(ListCreateAPIView):
queryset = Post.objects.all()
serializer_class = PostSerializer
filter_backends = [SearchFilter]
search_fields = ['user','title','content']


I use this view to create new posts:

@method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch')
class PostCreateView(APIView):
queryset = Post.objects.all()
serializer_class = PostCreateSerializer
renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
template_name = 'post_form.html'

def get(self, request, format=None):
serializer=PostCreateSerializer()
return Response({'serializer':serializer})

def post(self, request):
serializer = PostCreateSerializer(data=request.data)
if not serializer.is_valid():
return Response({'serializer':serializer})
serializer.save()
return redirect('/')


I want to consolidate both views into one view,

class PostListApiView(ListCreateAPIView):
queryset = Post.objects.all()
serializer_class = PostSerializer
filter_backends = [SearchFilter]
search_fields = ['user','title','content']
renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
template_name = 'post_form.html'


but when I try to add the TemplateHTMLRenderer to the ListCreateAPIView, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception Type: TypeError at /posts/

Can I use TemplateHTMLRenderer to render a queryset and a form on a template? If not, how can I achieve this?

Thank you
