✅

Try to do the following

>>> from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
>>> Token.objects.all()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Token' has no attribute 'objects'

If the above error occurs, That’s because you didn’t add the auth token in the settings’ INSTALLED_APPS.
if it’s not the in the INSTALLED_APPS, it’s abstract and doesn’t have the default manager (objects).

Looks like the Token model is not created. So make sure you followed the installation in the documentation.

Make sure you have 'rest_framework.authtoken' in INSTALLED_APPS

Also, rest framework authentication classes inside settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
),
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
)

}

Also, make sure you do python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate which create the Token model

First check whether you have added 'rest_framework.authtoken' under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Then run ‘python manage.py migrate’.

Secondly you should open new python shell while creating token for users without token as follows:

>>> `from django.contrib.auth.models import User`
>>> `from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token`
>>> `user = User.objects.get(pk=1)`                        
>>> `Token.objects.create(user=user)`
