MiddlewareMixin.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'get_response'

I have created a custom django middleware and decorator to authenticate the RESTful API that I am developing. Here is the code of the middleware that I have developed:

# myproject/middleware.pyimport jwtfrom django.conf import settingsfrom django.http import JsonResponsefrom users.models import Userclass JWTAuthenticationMiddleware:    def __init__(self, get_response):        self.get_response = get_response    def __call__(self, request):        excluded_paths = ['/auth/users/register/', '/auth/users/login/']        if any(request.path.startswith(path) for path in excluded_paths):            return self.get_response(request)  # Skip JWT validation for excluded paths        token = request.COOKIES.get('jwt')        if token:            try:                decoded = jwt.decode(token, settings.SECRET_KEY, algorithms=["HS256"])                user = User.objects.get(id=decoded['id'])                request.user = user            except (jwt.ExpiredSignatureError, jwt.InvalidTokenError, User.DoesNotExist):                return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid or expired token'}, status=401)        else:            request.user = None        return self.get_response(request)

This is the code for the decorator:

# users/utils.pyfrom functools import wrapsfrom django.http import JsonResponsefrom django.middleware.csrf import CsrfViewMiddlewaredef token_required(view_func):    @wraps(view_func)    def _wrapped_view(view_class_instance, request, *args, **kwargs):        csrf_middleware = CsrfViewMiddleware()        # Check CSRF token        csrf_error = csrf_middleware.process_view(request, None, (), {})        if csrf_error:            return csrf_error        if not request.user:            return JsonResponse({'error': 'Token is missing or invalid'}, status=401)        return view_func(view_class_instance, request, *args, **kwargs)    return _wrapped_view

Here is one of the views that are giving the error:

from rest_framework.views import APIViewfrom users.serializers import UserSerializerfrom rest_framework.response import Responsefrom users.models import Userfrom rest_framework.exceptions import AuthenticationFailedimport jwtfrom django.conf import settingsfrom users.utils import token_requiredclass UserView(APIView):    @token_required    def get(self, request):        token = request.COOKIES.get('jwt')        if not token:            raise AuthenticationFailed('Unauthenticated User!')        try:            payload = jwt.decode(token, settings.SECRET_KEY, algorithms=['HS256'])        except jwt.ExpiredSignatureError:            raise AuthenticationFailed("Token has expired! Login again")        user = User.objects.filter(id=payload['id']).first()        serializer = UserSerializer(user)        return Response(serializer.data)

And the error is this:

MiddlewareMixin.init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'get_response'

I really need help with getting this to work. Versions of Python and Django that I am using are 3.12.3 and 5.0.4 respectively.

I have tried many different solutions but none worked so far. Even ChatGPT isn't able to find the issues in this small piece of code.
