[Python] Django REST serializer: create object without saving

I have started to play with the Django REST framework. What I am trying to do is to POST a request with some JSON, create a Django Model object out of it, and use the object without saving it. My Django model is called SearchRequest. What I have is:

@api_view(['POST'])
def post_calculation(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
#JSON to serializer object
serializer = SearchRequestSerializer(data=request.data)
if (serializer.is_valid() == False):
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
mySearchRequestObject = serializer.save()


This does create a SearchRequest object, however saves it into the database right away. I would need it without saving.
