Django Rest Framework create multiple objects

This is what I have so far.

My serializer:

class MySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

     class Meta:
         model = MyModel
         fields = ('field_1', 'field_2', 'field_3')

My ModelViewset

class MyViewSet(ModelViewSet):

    serializer_class = MySerializer
    model = MyModel
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all().order_by('date_paid')

    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        many = True if isinstance(request.data, list) else False
        serializer = MySerializer(data=request.data, many=many)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
        else:
            return Response(serializer.errors, 
status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
        return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)

My main concern is that when testing the endpoint to create multiple objects using the following payload, on the view the property request.data seem to be empty, as a result it returns errors of fields missing.

{
        'data': [
            {
                'type': 'MySerializer',
                'attributes': {
                    'field_1': 1,
                    'field_2': 0.05,
                    'field_3': 'abc'
                }
            },
            {
                'type': 'MySerializer',
                'attributes': {
                    'field_1': 1,
                    'field_2': 0.05,
                    'field_3': 'abc'
                }
            },
            {
                'type': 'MySerializer',
                'attributes': {
                    'field_1': 1,
                    'field_2': 0.05,
                    'field_3': 'abc'
                }
            }
        ]
    }

However when using a single object instance:

{
        'data': {
            'type': 'MySerializer',
            'attributes': {
                    'field_1': 1,
                    'field_2': 0.05,
                    'field_3': 'abc'
            }
        }
    }

It seeems to work just fine and the object is created.

I have tried several ways to accomodate the payload:

• Placing the list of objects inside the attributes field.
• Placing the list of instances directly on the data field but it returns either an object error, or and empty request.data

How am I supposed to send the data for multiple objects, is it even possible, I have read in many articles that just by placing many=True on the serializer instance is enough to accomplish this but I just cant't get the data from the request.

Any step that I missed or another workaround?

EDIT

Forgot to mention two things

1. that I'm using django rest framework json api library, could that be the reason why the data is empty?
2. I placed dictionaries since I'm testing the endpoints and I use json.dumps(payload) when sending data.
