<blockquote>
<p>A machine-readable [schema] describes what resources are available via the API, what their URLs are, how they are represented and what operations they support.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>API schemas are a useful tool that allow for a range of use cases, including
generating reference documentation, or driving dynamic client libraries that
can interact with your API.</p>
<h2 id="representing-schemas-internally"><a class="toclink" href="#representing-schemas-internally">Representing schemas internally</a></h2>
<p>REST framework uses <a href="http://www.coreapi.org/">Core API</a> in order to model schema information in
a format-independent representation. This information can then be rendered
into various different schema formats, or used to generate API documentation.</p>
<p>When using Core API, a schema is represented as a <code>Document</code> which is the
top-level container object for information about the API. Available API
interactions are represented using <code>Link</code> objects. Each link includes a URL,
HTTP method, and may include a list of <code>Field</code> instances, which describe any
parameters that may be accepted by the API endpoint. The <code>Link</code> and <code>Field</code>
instances may also include descriptions, that allow an API schema to be
rendered into user documentation.</p>
<p>Here's an example of an API description that includes a single <code>search</code>
endpoint:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi.Document(
title='Flight Search API',
url='https://api.example.org/',
content={
'search': coreapi.Link(
url='/search/',
action='get',
fields=[
coreapi.Field(
name='from',
required=True,
location='query',
description='City name or airport code.'
),
coreapi.Field(
name='to',
required=True,
location='query',
description='City name or airport code.'
),
coreapi.Field(
name='date',
required=True,
location='query',
description='Flight date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format.'
)
],
description='Return flight availability and prices.'
)
}
)
</code></pre>
<h2 id="schema-output-formats"><a class="toclink" href="#schema-output-formats">Schema output formats</a></h2>
<p>In order to be presented in an HTTP response, the internal representation
has to be rendered into the actual bytes that are used in the response.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.coreapi.org/specification/encoding/#core-json-encoding">Core JSON</a> is designed as a canonical format for use with Core API.
REST framework includes a renderer class for handling this media type, which
is available as <code>renderers.CoreJSONRenderer</code>.</p>
<p>Other schema formats such as <a href="https://openapis.org/">Open API</a> (Formerly "Swagger"),
<a href="http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-hypermedia.html">JSON HyperSchema</a>, or <a href="https://apiblueprint.org/">API Blueprint</a> can
also be supported by implementing a custom renderer class.</p>
<h2 id="schemas-vs-hypermedia"><a class="toclink" href="#schemas-vs-hypermedia">Schemas vs Hypermedia</a></h2>
<p>It's worth pointing out here that Core API can also be used to model hypermedia
responses, which present an alternative interaction style to API schemas.</p>
<p>With an API schema, the entire available interface is presented up-front
as a single endpoint. Responses to individual API endpoints are then typically
presented as plain data, without any further interactions contained in each
response.</p>
<p>With Hypermedia, the client is instead presented with a document containing
both data and available interactions. Each interaction results in a new
document, detailing both the current state and the available interactions.</p>
<p>Further information and support on building Hypermedia APIs with REST framework
is planned for a future version.</p>
<hr />
<h1 id="adding-a-schema"><a class="toclink" href="#adding-a-schema">Adding a schema</a></h1>
<p>You'll need to install the <code>coreapi</code> package in order to add schema support
for REST framework.</p>
<pre><code>pip install coreapi
</code></pre>
<p>REST framework includes functionality for auto-generating a schema,
or allows you to specify one explicitly. There are a few different ways to
add a schema to your API, depending on exactly what you need.</p>
<h2 id="using-defaultrouter"><a class="toclink" href="#using-defaultrouter">Using DefaultRouter</a></h2>
<p>If you're using <code>DefaultRouter</code> then you can include an auto-generated schema,
simply by adding a <code>schema_title</code> argument to the router.</p>
<pre><code>router = DefaultRouter(schema_title='Server Monitoring API')
</code></pre>
<p>The schema will be included at the root URL, <code>/</code>, and presented to clients
that include the Core JSON media type in their <code>Accept</code> header.</p>
<pre><code>$ http http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Accept:application/vnd.coreapi+json
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/vnd.coreapi+json
{
"_meta": {
"title": "Server Monitoring API"
},
"_type": "document",
...
}
</code></pre>
<p>This is a great zero-configuration option for when you want to get up and
running really quickly. If you want a little more flexibility over the
schema output then you'll need to consider using <code>SchemaGenerator</code> instead.</p>
<h2 id="using-schemagenerator"><a class="toclink" href="#using-schemagenerator">Using SchemaGenerator</a></h2>
<p>The most common way to add a schema to your API is to use the <code>SchemaGenerator</code>
class to auto-generate the <code>Document</code> instance, and to return that from a view.</p>
<p>This option gives you the flexibility of setting up the schema endpoint
with whatever behaviour you want. For example, you can apply different
permission, throttling or authentication policies to the schema endpoint.</p>
<p>Here's an example of using <code>SchemaGenerator</code> together with a view to
return the schema.</p>
<p><strong>views.py:</strong></p>
<pre><code>from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, renderer_classes
from rest_framework import renderers, schemas
generator = schemas.SchemaGenerator(title='Bookings API')
@api_view()
@renderer_classes([renderers.CoreJSONRenderer])
def schema_view(request):
return generator.get_schema()
</code></pre>
<p><strong>urls.py:</strong></p>
<pre><code>urlpatterns = [
url('/', schema_view),
...
]
</code></pre>
<p>You can also serve different schemas to different users, depending on the
permissions they have available. This approach can be used to ensure that
unauthenticated requests are presented with a different schema to
authenticated requests, or to ensure that different parts of the API are
made visible to different users depending on their role.</p>
<p>In order to present a schema with endpoints filtered by user permissions,
you need to pass the <code>request</code> argument to the <code>get_schema()</code> method, like so:</p>
<pre><code>@api_view()
@renderer_classes([renderers.CoreJSONRenderer])
def schema_view(request):
return generator.get_schema(request=request)
</code></pre>
<h2 id="explicit-schema-definition"><a class="toclink" href="#explicit-schema-definition">Explicit schema definition</a></h2>
<p>An alternative to the auto-generated approach is to specify the API schema
explicitly, by declaring a <code>Document</code> object in your codebase. Doing so is a
little more work, but ensures that you have full control over the schema
representation.</p>
<pre><code>import coreapi
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, renderer_classes
from rest_framework import renderers
schema = coreapi.Document(
title='Bookings API',
content={
...
}
)
@api_view()
@renderer_classes([renderers.CoreJSONRenderer])
def schema_view(request):
return schema
</code></pre>
<h2 id="static-schema-file"><a class="toclink" href="#static-schema-file">Static schema file</a></h2>
<p>A final option is to write your API schema as a static file, using one
of the available formats, such as Core JSON or Open API.</p>
<p>You could then either:</p>
<ul>
<li>Write a schema definition as a static file, and <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/">serve the static file directly</a>.</li>
<li>Write a schema definition that is loaded using <code>Core API</code>, and then
rendered to one of many available formats, depending on the client request.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h1 id="api-reference"><a class="toclink" href="#api-reference">API Reference</a></h1>
<h2 id="schemagenerator"><a class="toclink" href="#schemagenerator">SchemaGenerator</a></h2>
<p>A class that deals with introspecting your API views, which can be used to
generate a schema.</p>
<p>Typically you'll instantiate <code>SchemaGenerator</code> with a single argument, like so:</p>
<pre><code>generator = SchemaGenerator(title='Stock Prices API')
</code></pre>
<p>Arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>title</code> - The name of the API. <strong>required</strong></li>
<li><code>patterns</code> - A list of URLs to inspect when generating the schema. Defaults to the project's URL conf.</li>
<li><code>urlconf</code> - A URL conf module name to use when generating the schema. Defaults to <code>settings.ROOT_URLCONF</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="get_schema"><a class="toclink" href="#get_schema">get_schema()</a></h3>
<p>Returns a <code>coreapi.Document</code> instance that represents the API schema.</p>
<pre><code>@api_view
@renderer_classes([renderers.CoreJSONRenderer])
def schema_view(request):
return generator.get_schema()
</code></pre>
<p>Arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>request</code> - The incoming request. Optionally used if you want to apply per-user permissions to the schema-generation.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="core-api"><a class="toclink" href="#core-api">Core API</a></h2>
<p>This documentation gives a brief overview of the components within the <code>coreapi</code>
package that are used to represent an API schema.</p>
<p>Note that these classes are imported from the <code>coreapi</code> package, rather than
from the <code>rest_framework</code> package.</p>
<h3 id="document"><a class="toclink" href="#document">Document</a></h3>
<p>Represents a container for the API schema.</p>
<h4 id="title"><a class="toclink" href="#title"><code>title</code></a></h4>
<p>A name for the API.</p>
<h4 id="url"><a class="toclink" href="#url"><code>url</code></a></h4>
<p>A canonical URL for the API.</p>
<h4 id="content"><a class="toclink" href="#content"><code>content</code></a></h4>
<p>A dictionary, containing the <code>Link</code> objects that the schema contains.</p>
<p>In order to provide more structure to the schema, the <code>content</code> dictionary
may be nested, typically to a second level. For example:</p>
<pre><code>content={
"bookings": {
"list": Link(...),
"create": Link(...),
...
},
"venues": {
"list": Link(...),
...
},
...
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="link"><a class="toclink" href="#link">Link</a></h3>
<p>Represents an individual API endpoint.</p>
<h4 id="url_1"><a class="toclink" href="#url_1"><code>url</code></a></h4>
<p>The URL of the endpoint. May be a URI template, such as <code>/users/{username}/</code>.</p>
<h4 id="action"><a class="toclink" href="#action"><code>action</code></a></h4>
<p>The HTTP method associated with the endpoint. Note that URLs that support
more than one HTTP method, should correspond to a single <code>Link</code> for each.</p>
<h4 id="fields"><a class="toclink" href="#fields"><code>fields</code></a></h4>
<p>A list of <code>Field</code> instances, describing the available parameters on the input.</p>
<h4 id="description"><a class="toclink" href="#description"><code>description</code></a></h4>
<p>A short description of the meaning and intended usage of the endpoint.</p>
<h3 id="field"><a class="toclink" href="#field">Field</a></h3>
<p>Represents a single input parameter on a given API endpoint.</p>
<h4 id="name"><a class="toclink" href="#name"><code>name</code></a></h4>
<p>A descriptive name for the input.</p>
<h4 id="required"><a class="toclink" href="#required"><code>required</code></a></h4>
<p>A boolean, indicated if the client is required to included a value, or if
the parameter can be omitted.</p>
<h4 id="location"><a class="toclink" href="#location"><code>location</code></a></h4>
<p>Determines how the information is encoded into the request. Should be one of
the following strings:</p>
<p><strong>"path"</strong></p>
<p>Included in a templated URI. For example a <code>url</code> value of <code>/products/{product_code}/</code> could be used together with a <code>"path"</code> field, to handle API inputs in a URL path such as <code>/products/slim-fit-jeans/</code>.</p>
<p>These fields will normally correspond with <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#named-groups">named arguments in the project URL conf</a>.</p>
<p><strong>"query"</strong></p>
<p>Included as a URL query parameter. For example <code>?search=sale</code>. Typically for <code>GET</code> requests.</p>
<p>These fields will normally correspond with pagination and filtering controls on a view.</p>
<p><strong>"form"</strong></p>
<p>Included in the request body, as a single item of a JSON object or HTML form. For example <code>{"colour": "blue", ...}</code>. Typically for <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code> and <code>PATCH</code> requests. Multiple <code>"form"</code> fields may be included on a single link.</p>
<p>These fields will normally correspond with serializer fields on a view.</p>
<p><strong>"body"</strong></p>
<p>Included as the complete request body. Typically for <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code> and <code>PATCH</code> requests. No more than one <code>"body"</code> field may exist on a link. May not be used together with <code>"form"</code> fields.</p>
<p>These fields will normally correspond with views that use <code>ListSerializer</code> to validate the request input, or with file upload views.</p>
<h4 id="encoding"><a class="toclink" href="#encoding"><code>encoding</code></a></h4>
<p><strong>"application/json"</strong></p>
<p>JSON encoded request content. Corresponds to views using <code>JSONParser</code>.

<code>location="body"</code> field is included on the <code>Link</code>.</p>
<p><strong>"multipart/form-data"</strong></p>
<p>Multipart encoded request content. Corresponds to views using <code>MultiPartParser</code>.
Valid only if one or more <code>location="form"</code> fields is included on the <code>Link</code>.</p>
<p><strong>"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"</strong></p>
<p>URL encoded request content. Corresponds to views using <code>FormParser</code>. Valid
only if one or more <code>location="form"</code> fields is included on the <code>Link</code>.</p>
<p><strong>"application/octet-stream"</strong></p>
<p>Binary upload request content. Corresponds to views using <code>FileUploadParser</code>.
Valid only if a <code>location="body"</code> field is included on the <code>Link</code>.</p>
<h4 id="description_1"><a class="toclink" href="#description_1"><code>description</code></a></h4>
<p>A short description of the meaning and intended usage of the input field.</p>

<h1 id="api-clients"><a class="toclink" href="#api-clients">API Clients</a></h1>
<p>An API client handles the underlying details of how network requests are made
and how responses are decoded. They present the developer with an application
interface to work against, rather than working directly with the network interface.</p>
<p>The API clients documented here are not restricted to APIs built with Django REST framework.
They can be used with any API that exposes a supported schema format.</p>
<p>For example, <a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/platform-api">the Heroku platform API</a> exposes a schema in the JSON
Hyperschema format. As a result, the Core API command line client and Python
client library can be <a href="http://www.coreapi.org/tools-and-resources/example-services/#heroku-json-hyper-schema">used to interact with the Heroku API</a>.</p>
<h2 id="client-side-core-api"><a class="toclink" href="#client-side-core-api">Client-side Core API</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.coreapi.org/">Core API</a> is a document specification that can be used to describe APIs. It can
be used either server-side, as is done with REST framework's <a href="../../api-guide/schemas/">schema generation</a>,
or used client-side, as described here.</p>
<p>When used client-side, Core API allows for <em>dynamically driven client libraries</em>
that can interact with any API that exposes a supported schema or hypermedia
format.</p>
<p>Using a dynamically driven client has a number of advantages over interacting
with an API by building HTTP requests directly.</p>
<h4 id="more-meaningful-interaction"><a class="toclink" href="#more-meaningful-interaction">More meaningful interaction</a></h4>
<p>API interactions are presented in a more meaningful way. You're working at
the application interface layer, rather than the network interface layer.</p>
<h4 id="resilience-evolvability"><a class="toclink" href="#resilience-evolvability">Resilience &amp; evolvability</a></h4>
<p>The client determines what endpoints are available, what parameters exist
against each particular endpoint, and how HTTP requests are formed.</p>
<p>This also allows for a degree of API evolvability. URLs can be modified
without breaking existing clients, or more efficient encodings can be used
on-the-wire, with clients transparently upgrading.</p>
<h4 id="self-descriptive-apis"><a class="toclink" href="#self-descriptive-apis">Self-descriptive APIs</a></h4>
<p>A dynamically driven client is able to present documentation on the API to the
end user. This documentation allows the user to discover the available endpoints
and parameters, and better understand the API they are working with.</p>
<p>Because this documentation is driven by the API schema it will always be fully
up to date with the most recently deployed version of the service.</p>
<hr />
<h1 id="command-line-client"><a class="toclink" href="#command-line-client">Command line client</a></h1>
<p>The command line client allows you to inspect and interact with any API that
exposes a supported schema format.</p>
<h2 id="getting-started"><a class="toclink" href="#getting-started">Getting started</a></h2>
<p>To install the Core API command line client, use <code>pip</code>.</p>
<pre><code>$ pip install coreapi
</code></pre>
<p>To start inspecting and interacting with an API the schema must first be loaded
from the network.</p>
<pre><code>$ coreapi get http://api.example.org/
&lt;Pastebin API "http://127.0.0.1:8000/"&gt;
snippets: {
create(code, [title], [linenos], [language], [style])
destroy(pk)
highlight(pk)
list([page])
partial_update(pk, [title], [code], [linenos], [language], [style])
retrieve(pk)
update(pk, code, [title], [linenos], [language], [style])
}
users: {
list([page])
retrieve(pk)
}
</code></pre>
<p>This will then load the schema, displaying the resulting <code>Document</code>. This
<code>Document</code> includes all the available interactions that may be made against the API.</p>
<p>To interact with the API, use the <code>action</code> command. This command requires a list
of keys that are used to index into the link.</p>
<pre><code>$ coreapi action users list
[
{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/2/",
"id": 2,
"username": "aziz",
"snippets": []
},
...
]
</code></pre>
<p>To inspect the underlying HTTP request and response, use the <code>--debug</code> flag.</p>
<pre><code>$ coreapi action users list --debug
&gt; GET /users/ HTTP/1.1
&gt; Accept: application/vnd.coreapi+json, */*
&gt; Authorization: Basic bWF4Om1heA==
&gt; Host: 127.0.0.1
&gt; User-Agent: coreapi
&lt; 200 OK
&lt; Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
&lt; Content-Type: application/json
&lt; Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 10:51:46 GMT
&lt; Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.10
&lt; Vary: Accept, Cookie
&lt;
&lt; [{"url":"http://127.0.0.1/users/2/","id":2,"username":"aziz","snippets":[]},{"url":"http://127.0.0.1/users/3/","id":3,"username":"amy","snippets":["http://127.0.0.1/snippets/3/"]},{"url":"http://127.0.0.1/users/4/","id":4,"username":"max","snippets":["http://127.0.0.1/snippets/4/","http://127.0.0.1/snippets/5/","http://127.0.0.1/snippets/6/","http://127.0.0.1/snippets/7/"]},{"url":"http://127.0.0.1/users/5/","id":5,"username":"jose","snippets":[]},{"url":"http://127.0.0.1/users/6/","id":6,"username":"admin","snippets":["http://127.0.0.1/snippets/1/","http://127.0.0.1/snippets/2/"]}]
[
...
]
</code></pre>
<p>Some actions may include optional or required parameters.</p>
<pre><code>$ coreapi action users create --params username example
</code></pre>
<h2 id="authentication-headers"><a class="toclink" href="#authentication-headers">Authentication &amp; headers</a></h2>
<p>The <code>credentials</code> command is used to manage the request <code>Authentication:</code> header.
Any credentials added are always linked to a particular domain, so as to ensure
that credentials are not leaked across differing APIs.</p>
<p>The format for adding a new credential is:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi credentials add &lt;domain&gt; &lt;credentials string&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>For instance:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi credentials add api.example.org "Token 9944b09199c62bcf9418ad846dd0e4bbdfc6ee4b"
</code></pre>
<p>The optional <code>--auth</code> flag also allows you to add specific types of authentication,
handling the encoding for you. Currently only <code>"basic"</code> is supported as an option here.
For example:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi credentials add api.example.org tomchristie:foobar --auth basic
</code></pre>
<p>You can also add specific request headers, using the <code>headers</code> command:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi headers add api.example.org x-api-version 2
</code></pre>
<p>For more information and a listing of the available subcommands use <code>coreapi
credentials --help</code> or <code>coreapi headers --help</code>.</p>
<h2 id="utilities"><a class="toclink" href="#utilities">Utilities</a></h2>
<p>The command line client includes functionality for bookmarking API URLs
under a memorable name. For example, you can add a bookmark for the
existing API, like so...</p>
<pre><code>coreapi bookmarks add accountmanagement
</code></pre>
<p>There is also functionality for navigating forward or backward through the
history of which API URLs have been accessed.</p>
<pre><code>coreapi history show
coreapi history back
</code></pre>
<p>For more information and a listing of the available subcommands use
<code>coreapi bookmarks --help</code> or <code>coreapi history --help</code>.</p>
<h2 id="other-commands"><a class="toclink" href="#other-commands">Other commands</a></h2>
<p>To display the current <code>Document</code>:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi show
</code></pre>
<p>To reload the current <code>Document</code> from the network:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi reload
</code></pre>
<p>To load a schema file from disk:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi load my-api-schema.json --format corejson
</code></pre>
<p>To remove the current document, along with all currently saved history,
credentials, headers and bookmarks:</p>
<pre><code>coreapi clear
</code></pre>
<hr />
<h1 id="python-client-library"><a class="toclink" href="#python-client-library">Python client library</a></h1>
<p>The <code>coreapi</code> Python package allows you to programatically interact with any
API that exposes a supported schema format.</p>
<h2 id="getting-started_1"><a class="toclink" href="#getting-started_1">Getting started</a></h2>
<p>You'll need to install the <code>coreapi</code> package using <code>pip</code> before you can get
started. Once you've done so, open up a python terminal.</p>
<p>In order to start working with an API, we first need a <code>Client</code> instance. The
client holds any configuration around which codecs and transports are supported
when interacting with an API, which allows you to provide for more advanced
kinds of behaviour.</p>
<pre><code>import coreapi
client = coreapi.Client()
</code></pre>
<p>Once we have a <code>Client</code> instance, we can fetch an API schema from the network.</p>
<pre><code>schema = client.get('https://api.example.org/')
</code></pre>
<p>The object returned from this call will be a <code>Document</code> instance, which is
the internal representation of the interface that we are interacting with.</p>
<p>Now that we have our schema <code>Document</code>, we can now start to interact with the API:</p>
<pre><code>users = client.action(schema, ['users', 'list'])
</code></pre>
<p>Some endpoints may include named parameters, which might be either optional or required:</p>
<pre><code>new_user = client.action(schema, ['users', 'create'], params={"username": "max"})
</code></pre>
<h2 id="codecs"><a class="toclink" href="#codecs">Codecs</a></h2>
<p>Codecs are responsible for encoding or decoding Documents.</p>
<p>The decoding process is used by a client to take a bytestring of an API schema
definition, and returning the Core API <code>Document</code> that represents that interface.</p>
<p>A codec should be associated with a particular media type, such as <strong>TODO</strong>.</p>
<p>This media type is used by the server in the response <code>Content-Type</code> header,
in order to indicate what kind of data is being returned in the response.</p>
<h4 id="configuring-codecs"><a class="toclink" href="#configuring-codecs">Configuring codecs</a></h4>
<p>The codecs that are available can be configured when instantiating a client.
The keyword argument used here is <code>decoders</code>, because in the context of a
client the codecs are only for <em>decoding</em> responses.</p>
<p>In the following example we'll configure a client to only accept <code>Core JSON</code>
and <code>JSON</code> responses. This will allow us to receive and decode a Core JSON schema,
and subsequently to receive JSON responses made against the API.</p>
<pre><code>from coreapi import codecs, Client
decoders = [codecs.CoreJSONCodec(), codecs.JSONCodec()]
client = Client(decoders=decoders)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="loading-and-saving-schemas"><a class="toclink" href="#loading-and-saving-schemas">Loading and saving schemas</a></h4>
<p>You can use a codec directly, in order to load an existing schema definition,
and return the resulting <code>Document</code>.</p>
<pre><code>schema_definition = open('my-api-schema.json', 'r').read()
codec = codecs.CoreJSONCodec()
schema = codec.load(schema_definition)
</code></pre>
<p>You can also use a codec directly to generate a schema definition given a <code>Document</code> instance:</p>
<pre><code>schema_definition = codec.dump(schema)
output_file = open('my-api-schema.json', 'r')
output_file.write(schema_definition)
</code></pre>
<h2 id="transports"><a class="toclink" href="#transports">Transports</a></h2>
<p>Transports are responsible for making network requests. The set of transports
that a client has installed determines which network protocols it is able to
support.</p>
<p>Currently the <code>coreapi</code> library only includes an HTTP/HTTPS transport, but
other protocols can also be supported.</p>
<h4 id="configuring-transports"><a class="toclink" href="#configuring-transports">Configuring transports</a></h4>
<p>The behaviour of the network layer can be customized by configuring the
transports that the client is instantiated with.</p>
<pre><code>import requests
from coreapi import transports, Client
credentials = {'api.example.org': 'Token 3bd44a009d16ff'}
transports = transports.HTTPTransport(credentials=credentials)
client = Client(transports=transports)
</code></pre>
<p>More complex customizations can also be achieved, for example modifying the
underlying <code>requests.Session</code> instance to <a href="http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#transport-adapters">attach transport adaptors</a>
that modify the outgoing requests.</p>

<p>Using viewsets can be a really useful abstraction. It helps ensure that URL conventions will be consistent across your API, minimizes the amount of code you need to write, and allows you to concentrate on the interactions and representations your API provides rather than the specifics of the URL conf.</p>
