Login to browsable API with token from custom authentication

[Sven Mäurer]

I have created an own ApiView for a login that generates a token for the user. In a REST client I can use this token together with the TokenAuthentication but in the browsable API not. Can I add a login form or do I have to hardcode the token somewhere?

The easiest way is to also allow SessionAuthentication as well as TokenAuthentication in your view.

This can be done globally in your settings: 

REST_FRAMEWORK = {

    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (

        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',

        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',

    )

}

or in your view:

class MyView(APIView):

    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication, SessionAuthentication)

    ...

It does not change anything. I still get the message that the Authentication credentials are not provided.

Try making login in Django admin site and then accessing the browsable api page again.
