You can access them within a view using request.META, which is a dictionary.
If you wanted the Authorization header, you could do request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
If you’re creating a restful API from scratch, you might want to take a look at using tastypie.

As of django 2.2 HttpRequest.headers were added to allow simple access to a request’s headers. So now you can also get authentication header using get() function on request.headers
request.headers.get('Authorization')
This will give you value token value back.

You can use
request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
and sometimes
request.META['Authorization']
can help.

For older versions of django prior to 2.2, you’ll need to access the headers in the following way using the META key. Always important to first check if the key authorization header keys exists just in case it wasn’t posted otherwise you’ll run into non-existent key errors.
if not ('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' in request.META.keys()):
return HttpResponse('NO AUTH HEADER PROVIDED')
elif (request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] == 'Bearer YourAuthorizationKey123':
