How can I test APIs built with Django Rest Framework?

How can I test APIs built with Django Rest Framework?

You can test Django Rest Framework APIs using tools like Postman, Django's test client, or automated testing frameworks.

What is the best way to write automated tests for my APIs?

The best way is to use Django's built-in testing framework along with the APIClient to simulate requests and assert responses.

Can you show me an example of a test case?

Sure! Here's a simple test case:

from rest_framework.test import APITestCase

class MyAPITestCase(APITestCase):
    def test_example(self):
        response = self.client.get('/api/example/')
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

How do I handle authentication in my tests?

You can use the force_authenticate method in your tests to simulate authenticated requests.
