django-rest-framework Authentication Setting up OAuth2 authentication
Example
OAuth is not handled by Django REST Framework, but there are a couple of pip modules that implement an OAuth client. The REST Framework documentation suggests one of the following modules:
Django OAuth Toolkit
pip install django-oauth-toolkit
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'oauth2_provider',
)
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'oauth2_provider.ext.rest_framework.OAuth2Authentication',
)
}
urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns(
...
url(r'^o/', include('oauth2_provider.urls', namespace='oauth2_provider')),
)
Django REST Framework OAuth
pip install djangorestframework-oauth django-oauth2-provider
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'provider',
'provider.oauth2',
)
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.authentication.OAuth2Authentication',
)
}
urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns(
...
url(r'^oauth2/', include('provider.oauth2.urls', namespace='oauth2')),
)
Admin
Go to the admin panel and create a new Provider.Client to have a client_id and a client_secret.
