< p > REST framework's new API documentation supports a number of features:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Live API interaction.< / li >
< li > Support for various authentication schemes.< / li >
< li > Code snippets for the Python, JavaScript, and Command Line clients.< / li >
< / ul >
< p > The < code > coreapi< / code > library is required as a dependancy for the API docs. Make sure
to install the latest version (2.3.0 or above). The < code > pygments< / code > and < code > markdown< / code >
libraries are optional but recommended.< / p >
< p > To install the API documentation, you'll need to include it in your projects URLconf:< / p >
< pre > < code > from rest_framework.documentation import include_docs_urls
API_TITLE = 'API title'
API_DESCRIPTION = '...'
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^docs/', include_docs_urls(title=API_TITLE, description=API_DESCRIPTION))
]
< / code > < / pre >
< p > Once installed you should see something a little like this:< / p >
< p > < img alt = "API Documentation" src = "../../img/api-docs.png" / > < / p >
< p > We'll likely be making further refinements to the API documentation over the
coming weeks. Keep in mind that this is a new feature, and please do give
us feedback if you run into any issues or limitations.< / p >
< p > For more information on documenting your API endpoints see the < a href = "../documenting-your-api/" > "Documenting your API"< / a > section.< / p >
< hr / >
< h2 id = "javascript-client-library" > < a class = "toclink" href = "#javascript-client-library" > JavaScript client library< / a > < / h2 >
< p > The JavaScript client library allows you to load an API schema, and then interact
with that API at an application layer interface, rather than constructing fetch
requests explicitly.< / p >
< p > Here's a brief example that demonstrates:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Loading the client library and schema.< / li >
< li > Instantiating an authenticated client.< / li >
< li > Making an API request using the client.< / li >

< p > The JavaScript client library supports various authentication schemes, and can be
used by your project itself, or as an external client interacting with your API.< / p >
< p > The client is not limited to usage with REST framework APIs, although it does
currently only support loading CoreJSON API schemas. Support for Swagger and
other API schemas is planned.< / p >

< p > Previous authentication support in the Python client library was limited to
allowing users to provide explicit header values.< / p >
< p > We now have better support for handling the details of authentication, with
the introduction of the < code > BasicAuthentication< / code > , < code > TokenAuthentication< / code > , and
< code > SessionAuthentication< / code > schemes.< / p >

< p > There are likely to be a number of refinements to the API documentation and
JavaScript client library over the coming weeks, which could include some of the following:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Support for private API docs, requiring login.< / li >
< li > File upload and download support in the JavaScript client & API docs.< / li >
< li > Comprehensive documentation for the JavaScript client library.< / li >
< li > Automatically including authentication details in the API doc code snippets.< / li >
< li > Adding authentication support in the command line client.< / li >
< li > Support for loading Swagger and other schemas in the JavaScript client.< / li >
< li > Improved support for documenting parameter schemas and response schemas.< / li >
< li > Refining the API documentation interaction modal.< / li >
< / ul >
< p > Once work on those refinements is complete, we'll be starting feature work
on realtime support, for the 3.7 release.< / p >
