django-rest-framework Token Authentication With Django Rest Framework USING THE TOKEN
Example
Let’s create a new View that requires this authentication mechanism.
We need to add these import lines:
from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
and then create the new View in the same views.py file
class AuthView(APIView):
"""
Authentication is needed for this methods
"""
authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
def get(self, request, format=None):
return Response({'detail': "I suppose you are authenticated"})
As we did on previous post, we need to tell our project that we have a new REST path listening, on test_app/urls.py
from rest_framework.urlpatterns import format_suffix_patterns
from test_app import views
urlpatterns = patterns('test_app.views',
url(r'^', views.TestView.as_view(), name='test-view'),
url(r'^auth/', views.AuthView.as_view(), name='auth-view'),
)
urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns)
