[Django]-How to send headers in Django rest framework browsable API

5👍

Check modheader. It allows you to set headers for your request. You can set the token authtoken there where “Name” would be “Authorization” and “Value” would be “Token “.

In my case, I was using rest_framework_JWT so, Authorization headers were like “JWT your_token”.

you can use tools like Postman
or
you can add authentication.SessionAuthentication to your authentication_classes

authentication_classes = [authentication.TokenAuthentication, authentication.SessionAuthentication]

so as long as you are logged in you can see the put patch and options request on the page.
by this method, you are not sending any Token. use it for development purposes.

  • In you postman select Post method and in Headers of request write
    Authorization for key and Token bd8877272b3384341d063d1 for
    value. Use you token generated for each user.
  • Or you can also enter username and password instead of token in
    Headers in postman.
