Answer 1

Which user? current user? Or any other user?

If any user, current or otherwise, then you can do this:

class BlogList(generics.ListAPIView):
    serializer_class = serializers.BlogSerializer

    def get_queryset(self):
        return Blog.objects.filter(user_id=self.kwargs['user_id'])

And in the urlconf or urls.py:

# Make sure you are passing the user id in the url.
# Otherwise the list view will not pick it up.
path('<int:user_id>', views.BlogList.as_view()),

So a url like this: 'app_name/user_id/' should give you a list of all of the blogs belonging to the user with user_id.
