Usage

Authentication

We use token-based authentication as described in Django REST Framework docs. Basically, an Authorization HTTP header is needed for every “non-safe” or “write” requests (i.e. all but GET, OPTIONS and HEAD), like so:

Authorization: Token 28619272344753805f6f6724c8c6f0d7ea5aeb42

A token for a particular user can be obtained using /token-auth/ API endpoint:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/token-auth/ -d "username=test&password=test"
{"token":"28619272344753805f6f6724c8c6f0d7ea5aeb42"}
