Question Is Django Rest Framework only for APIs or can i Use it to create Users for a website?

[djangorobert]

Ya the question is what it means Ive gone through it and looks like you could but not sure I know its good for apis but wanted to see if it could be used for Authenticating User for a website that im building 

any responses would be appreciated thank you

Django RestAPI is a layer that exposes part of your application or your whole website to other platforms for connectivity. Once it is integrated then whatever tasks you've specified for DjangoRestFramwork to carry to another platform will act for everything what that application tend to present. So if your app is for creating users or authentication and you exposed that part to receive signals from cross platform then yes you will be able to create users or authenticate them.

Hope you got the essence.

Yeah, you should, cause it's the opposite of what Django Rest Framework does. Django All Auth connects an external API to your application.

Django Rest Framework exposes your internal API to other applications.
