How do I implement authentication in Django REST Framework?

To implement authentication in Django REST Framework, you can use built-in authentication classes like TokenAuthentication or SessionAuthentication.

Can you show me an example of using TokenAuthentication?

Sure! First, install the Django REST Framework and add 'rest_framework.authtoken' to your INSTALLED_APPS. Then, run python manage.py migrate.

What do I need to do in my views to use TokenAuthentication?

In your views, you can set the authentication classes by adding authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication] to your view or viewset.

How do users obtain a token?

Users can obtain a token by sending a POST request to the /api-token-auth/ endpoint with their username and password.
