 By default, the API will return the format specified by the headers, which in the case of the browser is HTML.  The format can be specified using `?format=` in the request, so you can look at the raw JSON response in a browser by adding `?format=json` to the URL.  There are helpful extensions for viewing JSON in [Firefox][ffjsonview] and [Chrome][chromejsonview].
 
+## Authentication
+
+To quickly add authentication to the browesable api, add a routes named `"login"` and `"logout"` under the namespace `"rest_framework"`. DRF provides default routes for this which you can add to your urlconf:
+
+```python
+urlpatterns = [
+    // ...
+    url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
+]
+```

 The browsable API is built with [Twitter's Bootstrap][bootstrap] (v 3.4.1), making it easy to customize the look-and-feel.
