How to config DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS to accept timestamp?

Is there anyway to accept timestamp as an input for DateField and DateTimeField fields by configuring DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS?

I can convert all my outputs to timestamp using :

REST_FRAMEWORK = [
   "DATETIME_FORMAT": "%s"
]

But it seems having %s for inputs does not work:

REST_FRAMEWORK = [
   "DATETIME_FORMAT": "%s",
   "DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS": ["%s"], 
]

It raises this validation error:

{
    "my_field_name": [
        "Date has wrong format. Use one of these formats instead: %s."
    ]
}

UPDATE

I can create a custom DateTimeField or DateField field. But it's really cumbersome as I have to change many fields all over the project. not to mention may of these fields are auto generated by ModelSerializer and I don't really like to overwrite them manually.

It uses this table, %S should work but there is no directive with a lowercase s.
