Getting following exception while passing the serializer_obj.data to JSONRenderer.render() method.

JSONRenderer.render(course_se.data) Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: render() missing 1 required positional argument: 'data'

JSONRenderer.render(data=course_se.data)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/shell.py", line 69, in handle
self.run_shell(shell=options['interface'])
File "/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/shell.py", line 61, in run_shell
raise ImportError
ImportError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: render() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

Sry. Instead of calling JSONRenderer().render(serializer_obj) i called the render method on JSONRenderer class itself. Resolved thanks.
