Fund Django REST framework
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DJANGO REST FRAMEWORK
Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:
* The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
* Authentication policies including packages for OAuth1a and OAuth2.
* Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources.
* Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you
don't need the more powerful features.
* Extensive documentation, and great community support.
* Used and trusted by internationally recognised companies including Mozilla,
Red Hat, Heroku, and Eventbrite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNDING
REST framework is a collaboratively funded project. If you use REST framework
commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its continued development by
signing up for a paid plan.
Every single sign-up helps us make REST framework long-term financially
sustainable.

REQUIREMENTS
REST framework requires the following:
* Python (3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)
* Django (3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2)
We highly recommend and only officially support the latest patch release of each
Python and Django series.
The following packages are optional:
* PyYAML, uritemplate (5.1+, 3.0.0+) - Schema generation support.
* Markdown (3.0.0+) - Markdown support for the browsable API.
* Pygments (2.4.0+) - Add syntax highlighting to Markdown processing.
* django-filter (1.0.1+) - Filtering support.
* django-guardian (1.1.1+) - Object level permissions support.
INSTALLATION
Install using pip, including any optional packages you want...
pip install djangorestframework
pip install markdown # Markdown support for the browsable API.
pip install django-filter # Filtering support
...or clone the project from github.
git clone https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework
Add 'rest_framework' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'rest_framework',
]
If you're intending to use the browsable API you'll probably also want to add
REST framework's login and logout views. Add the following to your root urls.py
file.
urlpatterns = [
...
path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls'))
]
Note that the URL path can be whatever you want.
EXAMPLE
Let's take a look at a quick example of using REST framework to build a simple
model-backed API.
We'll create a read-write API for accessing information on the users of our
project.
Any global settings for a REST framework API are kept in a single configuration
dictionary named REST_FRAMEWORK. Start off by adding the following to your
settings.py module:
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
# Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
# or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly'
]
}
Don't forget to make sure you've also added rest_framework to your
INSTALLED_APPS.
We're ready to create our API now. Here's our project's root urls.py module:
from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
# Serializers define the API representation.
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff']
# ViewSets define the view behavior.
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
# Routers provide an easy way of automatically determining the URL conf.
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)
# Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.
# Additionally, we include login URLs for the browsable API.
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
]
You can now open the API in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/, and view
your new 'users' API. If you use the login control in the top right corner
you'll also be able to add, create and delete users from the system.
QUICKSTART
Can't wait to get started? The quickstart guide is the fastest way to get up and
running, and building APIs with REST framework.
DEVELOPMENT
See the Contribution guidelines for information on how to clone the repository,
run the test suite and contribute changes back to REST Framework.
SUPPORT
For support please see the REST framework discussion group, try the
#restframework channel on irc.libera.chat, or raise a question on Stack
Overflow, making sure to include the 'django-rest-framework' tag.
For priority support please sign up for a professional or premium sponsorship
plan.
SECURITY
Security issues are handled under the supervision of the Django security team.
Please report security issues by emailing security@djangoproject.com.
The project maintainers will then work with you to resolve any issues where
required, prior to any public disclosure.
