-To use the `TokenAuthentication` policy, you must have a token model.  Django REST Framework comes with a minimal default token model.  To use it, include `djangorestframework.tokenauth` in your installed applications and sync your database.  To use your own token model, subclass the `djangorestframework.tokenauth.TokenAuthentication` class and specify a `model` attribute that references your custom token model.  The token model must provide `user`, `key`, and `revoked` attributes.  Refer to the `djangorestframework.tokenauth.models.BasicToken` model as an example.
