Previously I was using django-rest-auth
package and I was getting the auth token
when user log in
in response response.data.key
and this auth token
or key
was working fine with the api calls as authentication auth
Previously for django-rest-auth
:
"/rest-auth/login/"
was getting the response.data.key
as auth token
and that was working
I have stored in the cookie for later use
.get("/rest-auth/user/", {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: "Token " + response.data.key + "",
},
})
It was working to get info on user and also was working when used in other api calls by setting it in
Authorization: "Token " + response.data.key + ""
But now, I'm using dj-rest-auth
package instead of django-rest-auth
and shifted my urls to
/dj-rest-auth/login
and I'm not getting any key
or auth token
that I can use for authorization
in header.
.get("/dj-rest-auth/user/", {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: "Token " + response.data.? + "",
},
})
It's not working because now I'm getting access_token
, refresh_token
and user info
. I tried to use access_token
and refresh_token
for authorization
in header but it's not working because I'm not getting key
or auth token
in response when user log in
Note: django-rest-auth
is no more maintained and dj-rest-auth
is forked from the previous one and have more functions (this is the reason why I'm switching)
How to get auth token
or key
by using dj-rest-auth
package so that I can use it in the header
of API calls for authorization?
Check that you don't have an REST_USE_JWT = True
in your settings. That setting will enable JWT authentication scheme instead of a (default) token-based.
