 Extends REST framework's `APIView` class, adding support for serialization of model instances and model querysets.
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `model` - The model that should be used for this view.  Used as a fallback for determining the serializer if `serializer_class` is not set, and as a fallback for determining the queryset if `queryset` is not set.  Otherwise not required.
+* `serializer_class` - The serializer class that should be used for validating and deserializing input, and for serializing output.  If unset, this defaults to creating a serializer class using `self.model`, with the `DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS` setting as the base serializer class.

 ## MultipleObjectAPIView
 
 Provides a base view for acting on a single object, by combining REST framework's `APIView`, and Django's [MultipleObjectMixin].
 
 **See also:** ccbv.co.uk documentation for [MultipleObjectMixin][multiple-object-mixin-classy].
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `queryset` - The queryset that should be used for returning objects from this view.  If unset, defaults to the default queryset manager for `self.model`.
+* `paginate_by` - The size of pages to use with paginated data.  If set to `None` then pagination is turned off.  If unset this uses the same value as the `PAGINATE_BY` setting, which defaults to `None`.
+* `paginate_by_param` - The name of a query parameter, which can be used by the client to overide the default page size to use for pagination.  If unset this uses the same value as the `PAGINATE_BY_PARAM` setting, which defaults to `None`.

 ## SingleObjectAPIView

 **See also:** ccbv.co.uk documentation for [SingleObjectMixin][single-object-mixin-classy].
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `queryset` - The queryset that should be used when retrieving an object from this view.  If unset, defaults to the default queryset manager for `self.model`.
+* `pk_kwarg` - The URL kwarg that should be used to look up objects by primary key. Defaults to `'pk'`. [Can only be set to non-default on Django 1.4+]
+* `slug_kwarg` - The URL kwarg that should be used to look up objects by a slug. Defaults to `'slug'`.  [Can only be set to non-default on Django 1.4+]
+* `slug_field` - The field on the model that should be used to look up objects by a slug.  If used, this should typically be set to a field with `unique=True`. Defaults to `'slug'`.
