✅

ObtainAuthToken from Rest Framework gets or creates a token for an specific user and then sends it in the Response, all of these behaviour is done in the post method.

The documentation says:

If you need a customized version of the obtain_auth_token view, you can do so by overriding the ObtainAuthToken view class, and using that in your url conf instead.

So you can override the post method, or even create your own APIView to create the Token and add the behaviour you want. In order to do that, change your url:

url(r'^api/auth/', views.custom_obtain_token)

And in views.py:

class CustomObtainToken(APIView):
    ...
    def post(self, request):
        <your logic>
        <get token n your own way or using DRF way>
        return Response({'token': token})
custom_obtain_token = CustomObtainToken.as_view()
