**Full documentation for REST framework is available on [http://django-rest-framework.org][docs].**

# Overview
This branch is the redesign of Django REST framework. It is a work in progress.
Django REST framework is a lightweight library that makes it easy to build Web APIs. It is designed as a modular and easy to customize architecture, based on Django's class based views.
For more information, check out [the documentation][docs], in particular, the tutorial is recommended as the best place to get an overview of the redesign.
Web APIs built using REST framework are fully self-describing and web browseable - a huge useability win for your developers. It also supports a wide range of media types, authentication and permission policies out of the box.
If you are considering using REST framework for your API, we recommend reading the [REST framework 2 announcment][rest-framework-2-announcement] which gives a good overview of the framework and it's capabilities.
There is also a sandbox API you can use for testing purposes, [available here][sandbox].

> — [RFC 2616][cite], Fielding et al.
[cite]: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec12.html
Content negotiation is the process of selecting one of multiple possible representations to return to a client, based on client or server preferences.
## Determining the accepted renderer
REST framework uses a simple style of content negotiation to determine which media type should be returned to a client, based on the available renderers, the priorities of each of those renderers, and the client's `Accept:` header. The style used is partly client-driven, and partly server-driven.
1. More specific media types are given preference to less specific media types.
2. If multiple media types have the same specificity, then preference is given to based on the ordering of the renderers configured for the given view.
For example, given the following `Accept` header:
application/json; indent=4, application/json, application/yaml, text/html, */*
The priorities for each of the given media types would be:
* `application/json; indent=4`
* `application/json`, `application/yaml` and `text/html`
* `*/*`
If the requested view was only configured with renderers for `YAML` and `HTML`, then REST framework would select whichever renderer was listed first in the `renderer_classes` list or `DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES` setting.
For more information on the `HTTP Accept` header, see [RFC 2616][accept-header]
---
**Note**: "q" values are not taken into account by REST framework when determining preference. The use of "q" values negatively impacts caching, and in the author's opinion they are an unnecessary and overcomplicated approach to content negotiation.
This is a valid approach as the HTTP spec deliberately underspecifies how a server should weight server-based preferences against client-based preferences.
---
# Custom content negotiation
It's unlikely that you'll want to provide a custom content negotiation scheme for REST framework, but you can do so if needed. To implement a custom content negotiation scheme override `BaseContentNegotiation`.
REST framework's content negotiation classes handle selection of both the appropriate parser for the request, and the appropriate renderer for the response, so you should implement both the `.select_parser(request, parsers)` and `.select_renderer(request, renderers, format_suffix)` methods.
## Example
The following is a custom content negotiation class which ignores the client
request when selecting the appropriate parser or renderer.
class IgnoreClientContentNegotiation(BaseContentNegotiation):
def select_parser(self, request, parsers):
"""
Select the first parser in the `.parser_classes` list.
"""
return parsers[0]
def select_renderer(self, request, renderers, format_suffix):
"""
Select the first renderer in the `.renderer_classes` list.
"""

**Note:** The serializer fields are declared in fields.py, but by convention you should import them using `from rest_framework import serializers` and refer to fields as `serializers.<FieldName>`.
---
## Core arguments
Each serializer field class constructor takes at least these arguments. Some Field classes take additional, field-specific arguments, but the following should always be accepted:
### `source`
The name of the attribute that will be used to populate the field. May be a method that only takes a `self` argument, such as `Field(source='get_absolute_url')`, or may use dotted notation to traverse attributes, such as `Field(source='user.email')`.
The value `source='*'` has a special meaning, and is used to indicate that the entire object should be passed through to the field. This can be useful for creating nested representations. (See the implementation of the `PaginationSerializer` class for an example.)
Defaults to the name of the field.
### `read_only`
Set this to `True` to ensure that the field is used when serializing a representation, but is not used when updating an instance dureing deserialization.
Defaults to `False`
### `required`
Normally an error will be raised if a field is not supplied during deserialization.
Set to false if this field is not required to be present during deserialization.
Defaults to `True`.
### `default`
If set, this gives the default value that will be used for the field if none is supplied. If not set the default behaviour is to not populate the attribute at all.
### `validators`
A list of Django validators that should be used to validate deserialized values.
### `error_messages`
A dictionary of error codes to error messages.
### `widget`
Used only if rendering the field to HTML.
This argument sets the widget that should be used to render the field.

> &mdash; Roy Fielding, [REST discuss mailing list][cite]
[cite]: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rest-discuss/message/5857
A common pattern for Web APIs is to use filename extensions on URLs to provide an endpoint for a given media type. For example, 'http://example.com/api/users.json' to serve a JSON representation.
Adding format-suffix patterns to each individual entry in the URLconf for your API is error-prone and non-DRY, so REST framework provides a shortcut to adding these patterns to your URLConf.
## format_suffix_patterns
**Signature**: format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns, suffix_required=False, allowed=None)
Returns a URL pattern list which includes format suffix patterns appended to each of the URL patterns provided.
Arguments:
* **urlpatterns**: Required. A URL pattern list.
* **suffix_required**: Optional. A boolean indicating if suffixes in the URLs should be optional or mandatory. Defaults to `False`, meaning that suffixes are optional by default.
* **allowed**: Optional. A list or tuple of valid format suffixes. If not provided, a wildcard format suffix pattern will be used.
Example:
from rest_framework.urlpatterns import format_suffix_patterns
urlpatterns = patterns('blog.views',
url(r'^/$', 'api_root'),
url(r'^comment/$', 'comment_root'),
url(r'^comment/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', 'comment_instance')
)
urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns, allowed=['json', 'html'])
When using `format_suffix_patterns`, you must make sure to add the `'format'` keyword argument to the corresponding views. For example.
@api_view(('GET',))
def api_root(request, format=None):
# do stuff...
The name of the kwarg used may be modified by using the `FORMAT_SUFFIX_KWARG` setting.
Also note that `format_suffix_patterns` does not support descending into `include` URL patterns.
---
## Accept headers vs. format suffixes
There seems to be a view among some of the Web community that filename extensions are not a RESTful pattern, and that `HTTP Accept` headers should always be used instead.
It is actually a misconception. For example, take the following quote from Roy Fielding discussing the relative merits of query parameter media-type indicators vs. file extension media-type indicators:
&ldquo;That's why I always prefer extensions. Neither choice has anything to do with REST.&rdquo; &mdash; Roy Fielding, [REST discuss mailing list][cite2]
The quote does not mention Accept headers, but it does make it clear that format suffixes should be considered an acceptable pattern.

REST framework includes a number of built in Parser classes, that allow you to accept requests with various media types. There is also support for defining your own custom parsers, which gives you the flexibility to design the media types that your API accepts.
## How the parser is determined
The set of valid parsers for a view is always defined as a list of classes. When either `request.DATA` or `request.FILES` is accessed, REST framework will examine the `Content-Type` header on the incoming request, and determine which parser to use to parse the request content.
## Setting the parsers
The default set of parsers may be set globally, using the `DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES` setting. For example, the following settings would allow requests with `YAML` content.
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
)
}
You can also set the renderers used for an individual view, using the `APIView` class based views.
class ExampleView(APIView):
"""

"""
parser_classes = (YAMLParser,)
def post(self, request, format=None):

# API Reference
## JSONParser
Parses `JSON` request content.
**.media_type**: `application/json`
## YAMLParser
Parses `YAML` request content.
**.media_type**: `application/yaml`
## XMLParser
Parses REST framework's default style of `XML` request content.
Note that the `XML` markup language is typically used as the base language for more strictly defined domain-specific languages, such as `RSS`, `Atom`, and `XHTML`.
If you are considering using `XML` for your API, you may want to consider implementing a custom renderer and parser for your specific requirements, and using an existing domain-specific media-type, or creating your own custom XML-based media-type.
**.media_type**: `application/xml`
## FormParser
Parses HTML form content. `request.DATA` will be populated with a `QueryDict` of data, `request.FILES` will be populated with an empty `QueryDict` of data.
You will typically want to use both `FormParser` and `MultiPartParser` together in order to fully support HTML form data.

Parses multipart HTML form content, which supports file uploads. Both `request.DATA` and `request.FILES` will be populated with a `QueryDict`.
You will typically want to use both `FormParser` and `MultiPartParser` together in order to fully support HTML form data.
**.media_type**: `multipart/form-data`
---
# Custom parsers
To implement a custom parser, you should override `BaseParser`, set the `.media_type` property, and implement the `.parse(self, stream, media_type, parser_context)` method.
The method should return the data that will be used to populate the `request.DATA` property.
The arguments passed to `.parse()` are:
### stream
A stream-like object representing the body of the request.
### media_type
Optional. If provided, this is the media type of the incoming request content.
Depending on the request's `Content-Type:` header, this may be more specific than the renderer's `media_type` attribute, and may include media type parameters. For example `"text/plain; charset=utf-8"`.
### parser_context
Optional. If supplied, this argument will be a dictionary containing any additional context that may be required to parse the request content.
By default this will include the following keys: `view`, `request`, `args`, `kwargs`.
## Example
The following is an example plaintext parser that will populate the `request.DATA` property with a string representing the body of the request.
class PlainTextParser(BaseParser):
"""
Plain text parser.
"""
media_type = 'text/plain'
def parse(self, stream, media_type=None, parser_context=None):
"""
Simply return a string representing the body of the request.
"""
return stream.read()
## Uploading file content
If your custom parser needs to support file uploads, you may return a `DataAndFiles` object from the `.parse()` method. `DataAndFiles` should be instantiated with two arguments. The first argument will be used to populate the `request.DATA` property, and the second argument will be used to populate the `request.FILES` property.
For example:
class SimpleFileUploadParser(BaseParser):
"""
A naive raw file upload parser.
"""
def parse(self, stream, media_type=None, parser_context=None):
content = stream.read()
name = 'example.dat'
content_type = 'application/octet-stream'
size = len(content)
charset = 'utf-8'
# Write a temporary file based on the request content
temp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)
temp.write(content)
uploaded = UploadedFile(temp, name, content_type, size, charset)
# Return the uploaded file
data = {}
files = {name: uploaded}
return DataAndFiles(data, files)

REST framework's `Request` class extends the standard `HttpRequest`, adding support for REST framework's flexible request parsing and request authentication.
## .method
`request.method` returns the uppercased string representation of the request's HTTP method.
Browser-based `PUT`, `DELETE` and other requests are supported, and can be made by using a hidden form field named `_method` in a regular `POST` form.
## .content_type
`request.content`, returns a string object representing the mimetype of the HTTP request's body, if one exists.
---
# Request parsing
REST framework's Request objects provide flexible request parsing that allows you to treat requests with JSON data or other media types in the same way that you would normally deal with form data.
## .DATA
`request.DATA` returns the parsed content of the request body. This is similar to the standard `HttpRequest.POST` attribute except that:
`request.DATA` returns the parsed content of the request body. This is similar to the standard `request.POST` attribute except that:
1. It supports parsing the content of HTTP methods other than `POST`, meaning that you can access the content of `PUT` and `PATCH` requests.
2. It supports parsing multiple content types, rather than just form data. For example you can handle incoming json data in the same way that you handle incoming form data.
* It supports parsing the content of HTTP methods other than `POST`, meaning that you can access the content of `PUT` and `PATCH` requests.
* It supports REST framework's flexible request parsing, rather than just supporting form data. For example you can handle incoming JSON data in the same way that you handle incoming form data.
For more details see the [parsers documentation].
## .FILES
`request.FILES` returns any uploaded files that may be present in the content of the request body. This is the same as the standard `HttpRequest` behavior, except that the same flexible request parsing that is used for `request.DATA`.
`request.FILES` returns any uploaded files that may be present in the content of the request body. This is the same as the standard `HttpRequest` behavior, except that the same flexible request parsing is used for `request.DATA`.
This allows you to support file uploads from multiple content-types. For example you can write a parser that supports `POST`ing the raw content of a file, instead of using form-encoded file uploads.
For more details see the [parsers documentation].
## .user
## .QUERY_PARAMS
`request.user` returns a `django.contrib.auth.models.User` instance.
`request.QUERY_PARAMS` is a more correctly named synonym for `request.GET`.
## .auth
`request.auth` returns any additional authentication context that may not be contained in `request.user`. The exact behavior of `request.auth` depends on what authentication has been set in `request.authentication`. For many types of authentication this will simply be `None`, but it may also be an object representing a permission scope, an expiry time, or any other information that might be contained in a token-based authentication scheme.
For clarity inside your code, we recommend using `request.QUERY_PARAMS` instead of the usual `request.GET`, as *any* HTTP method type may include query parameters.
## .parsers
`request.parsers` should be set to a list of `Parser` instances that can be used to parse the content of the request body.
The `APIView` class or `@api_view` decorator will ensure that this property is automatically set to a list of `Parser` instances, based on the `parser_classes` set on the view or based on the `DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES` setting.
`request.parsers` may no longer be altered once `request.DATA`, `request.FILES` or `request.POST` have been accessed.
You won't typically need to access this property.
If you're using the `rest_framework.views.View` class... **[TODO]**
---
**Note:** If a client sends malformed content, then accessing `request.DATA` or `request.FILES` may raise a `ParseError`. By default REST framework's `APIView` class or `@api_view` decorator will catch the error and return a `400 Bad Request` response.
If a client sends a request with a content-type that cannot be parsed then a `UnsupportedMediaType` exception will be raised, which by default will be caught and return a `415 Unsupported Media Type` response.
---
# Authentication
REST framework provides flexible, per-request authentication, that gives you the ability to:
* Use different authentication policies for different parts of your API.
* Support the use of multiple authentication policies.
* Provide both user and token information associated with the incoming request.
## .user
`request.user` typically returns an instance of `django.contrib.auth.models.User`, although the behavior depends on the authentication policy being used.
If the request is unauthenticated the default value of `request.user` is an instance of `django.contrib.auth.models.AnonymousUser`.
For more details see the [authentication documentation].
## .auth
`request.auth` returns any additional authentication context. The exact behavior of `request.auth` depends on the authentication policy being used, but it may typically be an instance of the token that the request was authenticated against.
If the request is unauthenticated, or if no additional context is present, the default value of `request.auth` is `None`.
For more details see the [authentication documentation].
## .authenticators
The `APIView` class or `@api_view` decorator will ensure that this property is automatically set to a list of `Authentication` instances, based on the `authentication_classes` set on the view or based on the `DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATORS` setting.
You won't typically need to access this property.

# Browser enhancements
REST framework supports a few browser enhancements such as browser-based `PUT` and `DELETE` forms.
## .method
`request.method` returns the **uppercased** string representation of the request's HTTP method.
Browser-based `PUT` and `DELETE` forms are transparently supported.
For more information see the [browser enhancements documentation].
## .content_type
`request.content_type`, returns a string object representing the media type of the HTTP request's body, or an empty string if no media type was provided.
You won't typically need to directly access the request's content type, as you'll normally rely on REST framework's default request parsing behavior.
If you do need to access the content type of the request you should use the `.content_type` property in preference to using `request.META.get('HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE')`, as it provides transparent support for browser-based non-form content.
For more information see the [browser enhancements documentation].
## .stream
`request.stream` returns a stream representing the content of the request body.
You will not typically need to access `request.stream`, unless you're writing a `Parser` class.
You won't typically need to directly access the request's content, as you'll normally rely on REST framework's default request parsing behavior.
## .authentication
If you do need to access the raw content directly, you should use the `.stream` property in preference to using `request.content`, as it provides transparent support for browser-based non-form content.
`request.authentication` should be set to a list of `Authentication` instances that can be used to authenticate the request.
For more information see the [browser enhancements documentation].
`request.authentication` may no longer be altered once `request.user` or `request.auth` have been accessed.

As REST framework's `Request` extends Django's `HttpRequest`, all the other standard attributes and methods are also available. For example the `request.META` dictionary is available as normal.

When deserializing data, you always need to call `is_valid()` before attempting to access the deserialized object. If any validation errors occur, the `.errors` and `.non_field_errors` properties will contain the resulting error messages.
**TODO: Describe validation in more depth**
### Field-level validation
You can specify custom field-level validation by adding `validate_<fieldname>()` methods to your `Serializer` subclass. These are analagous to `clean_<fieldname>` methods on Django forms, but accept slightly different arguments. They take a dictionary of deserialized attributes as a first argument, and the field name in that dictionary as a second argument (which will be either the name of the field or the value of the `source` argument to the field, if one was provided). Your `validate_<fieldname>` methods should either just return the attrs dictionary or raise a `ValidationError`. For example:
from rest_framework import serializers
class BlogPostSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
title = serializers.CharField(max_length=100)
content = serializers.CharField()
def validate_title(self, attrs, source):
"""
Check that the blog post is about Django
"""
value = attrs[source]
if "Django" not in value:
raise serializers.ValidationError("Blog post is not about Django")
return attrs
### Final cross-field validation
To do any other validation that requires access to multiple fields, add a method called `validate` to your `Serializer` subclass. This method takes a single argument, which is the `attrs` dictionary. It should raise a `ValidationError` if necessary, or just return `attrs`.

The default `ModelSerializer` uses primary keys for relationships, but you can also easily generate nested representations using the `depth` option:
class AccountSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Account
exclude = ('id',)
nested = True
depth = 1
The `nested` option may be set to either `True`, `False`, or an integer value. If given an integer value it indicates the depth of relationships that should be traversed before reverting to a flat representation.
The `depth` option should be set to an integer value that indicates the depth of relationships that should be traversed before reverting to a flat representation.
When serializing objects using a nested representation any occurances of recursion will be recognised, and will fall back to using a flat representation.
## Customising the default fields
## Customising the default fields used by a ModelSerializer
You can create customized subclasses of `ModelSerializer` that use a different set of default fields for the representation, by overriding various `get_<field_type>_field` methods.
Each of these methods may either return a field or serializer instance, or `None`.
### get_pk_field
class AccountSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Account
**Signature**: `.get_pk_field(self, model_field)`
Returns the field instance that should be used to represent the pk field.
### get_nested_field
**Signature**: `.get_nested_field(self, model_field)`
Returns the field instance that should be used to represent a related field when `depth` is specified as being non-zero.
### get_related_field
**Signature**: `.get_related_field(self, model_field, to_many=False)`
Returns the field instance that should be used to represent a related field when `depth` is not specified, or when nested representations are being used and the depth reaches zero.
### get_field
**Signature**: `.get_field(self, model_field)`
Returns the field instance that should be used for non-relational, non-pk fields.
### Example:
The following custom model serializer could be used as a base class for model serializers that should always exclude the pk by default.
class NoPKModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
def get_pk_field(self, model_field):
return serializers.Field(readonly=True)

def get_nested_field(self, model_field):

REST framework also gives you to work with regular function based views...
REST framework also allows you to work with regular function based views. It provides a set of simple decorators that wrap your function based views to ensure they receive an instance of `Request` (rather than the usual Django `HttpRequest`) and allows them to return a `Response` (instead of a Django `HttpResponse`), and allow you to configure how the request is processed.
**[TODO]**
## @api_view()
**Signature:** `@api_view(http_method_names)`
The core of this functionality is the `api_view` decorator, which takes a list of HTTP methods that your view should respond to. For example, this is how you would write a very simple view that just manually returns some data:
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
@api_view(['GET'])
def hello_world(request):
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
This view will use the default renderers, parsers, authentication classes etc specified in the [settings](settings).
## API policy decorators
To override the default settings, REST framework provides a set of additional decorators which can be added to your views. These must come *after* (below) the `@api_view` decorator. For example, to create a view that uses a [throttle](throttling) to ensure it can only be called once per day by a particular user, use the `@throttle_classes` decorator, passing a list of throttle classes:
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, throttle_classes
from rest_framework.throttling import UserRateThrottle
class OncePerDayUserThrottle(UserRateThrottle):
rate = '1/day'
@api_view(['GET'])
@throttle_classes([OncePerDayUserThrottle])
def view(request):
return Response({"message": "Hello for today! See you tomorrow!"})
These decorators correspond to the attributes set on `APIView` subclasses, described above.
The available decorators are:
* `@renderer_classes(...)`
* `@parser_classes(...)`
* `@authentication_classes(...)`
* `@throttle_classes(...)`
* `@permission_classes(...)`
Each of these decorators takes a single argument which must be a list or tuple of classes.

Django REST framework is a lightweight library that makes it easy to build Web APIs. It is designed as a modular and easy to customize architecture, based on Django's class based views.
Web APIs built using REST framework are fully self-describing and web browseable - a huge useability win for your developers. It also supports a wide range of media types, authentication and permission policies out of the box.
If you are considering using REST framework for your API, we recommend reading the [REST framework 2 announcment][rest-framework-2-announcement] which gives a good overview of the framework and it's capabilities.
There is also a sandbox API you can use for testing purposes, [available here][sandbox].

# Browser enhancements
> "There are two noncontroversial uses for overloaded POST. The first is to *simulate* HTTP's uniform interface for clients like web browsers that don't support PUT or DELETE"
>
> &mdash; [RESTful Web Services][cite], Leonard Richardson & Sam Ruby.
## Browser based PUT, DELETE, etc...
REST framework supports browser-based `PUT`, `DELETE` and other methods, by
overloading `POST` requests using a hidden form field.
Note that this is the same strategy as is used in [Ruby on Rails][rails].
For example, given the following form:
<form action="/news-items/5" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
</form>
`request.method` would return `"DELETE"`.
## Browser based submission of non-form content
Browser-based submission of content types other than form are supported by
using form fields named `_content` and `_content_type`:
For example, given the following form:
<form action="/news-items/5" method="PUT">
<input type="hidden" name="_content_type" value="application/json">
<input name="_content" value="{'count': 1}">
</form>
`request.content_type` would return `"application/json"`, and
`request.stream` would return `"{'count': 1}"`
## URL based accept headers
REST framework can take `?accept=application/json` style URL parameters,
which allow the `Accept` header to be overridden.
This can be useful for testing the API from a web browser, where you don't
have any control over what is sent in the `Accept` header.
## URL based format suffixes
REST framework can take `?format=json` style URL parameters, which can be a
useful shortcut for determing which content type should be returned from
the view.
This is a more concise than using the `accept` override, but it also gives
you less control. (For example you can't specify any media type parameters)
## Doesn't HTML5 support PUT and DELETE forms?
Nope. It was at one point intended to support `PUT` and `DELETE` forms, but
was later [dropped from the spec][html5]. There remains
[ongoing discussion][put_delete] about adding support for `PUT` and `DELETE`,
as well as how to support content types other than form-encoded data.

# Browser hacks
> "There are two noncontroversial uses for overloaded POST. The first is to *simulate* HTTP's uniform interface for clients like web browsers that don't support PUT or DELETE"
>
> &mdash; [RESTful Web Services](1), Leonard Richardson & Sam Ruby.
## Browser based PUT, DELETE, etc...
**TODO: Preamble.** Note that this is the same strategy as is used in [Ruby on Rails](2).
For example, given the following form:
<form action="/news-items/5" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
</form>
`request.method` would return `"DELETE"`.
## Browser based submission of non-form content
Browser-based submission of content types other than form are supported by using form fields named `_content` and `_content_type`:
For example, given the following form:
<form action="/news-items/5" method="PUT">
<input type="hidden" name="_content_type" value="application/json">
<input name="_content" value="{'count': 1}">
</form>
`request.content_type` would return `"application/json"`, and `request.content` would return `"{'count': 1}"`
## URL based accept headers
## URL based format suffixes
## Doesn't HTML5 support PUT and DELETE forms?
Nope. It was at one point intended to support `PUT` and `DELETE` forms, but was later [dropped from the spec](3). There remains [ongoing discussion](4) about adding support for `PUT` and `DELETE`, as well as how to support content types other than form-encoded data.

# Django REST framework 2
What it is, and why you should care.
> Most people just make the mistake that it should be simple to design simple things. In reality, the effort required to design something is inversely proportional to the simplicity of the result.
>
> &mdash; [Roy Fielding][cite]
---
**Announcement:** REST framework 2 released - Tue 30th Oct 2012
---
REST framework 2 is an almost complete reworking of the original framework, which comprehensively addresses some of the original design issues.
Because the latest version should be considered a re-release, rather than an incremental improvement, we've skipped a version, and called this release Django REST framework 2.0.
This article is intended to give you a flavor of what REST framework 2 is, and why you might want to give it a try.
## User feedback
Before we get cracking, let's start with the hard sell, with a few bits of feedback from some early adopters…
"Django REST framework 2 is beautiful. Some of the API design is worthy of @kennethreitz." - [Kit La Touche][quote1]
"Since it's pretty much just Django, controlling things like URLs has been a breeze... I think [REST framework 2] has definitely got the right approach here; even simple things like being able to override a function called post to do custom work during rather than having to intimately know what happens during a post make a huge difference to your productivity." - [Ian Strachan][quote2]
"I switched to the 2.0 branch and I don't regret it - fully refactored my code in another &half; day and it's *much* more to my tastes" - [Bruno Desthuilliers][quote3]
Sounds good, right? Let's get into some details...
## Serialization
REST framework 2 includes a totally re-worked serialization engine, that was initially intended as a replacement for Django's existing inflexible fixture serialization, and which meets the following design goals:
* A declarative serialization API, that mirrors Django's `Forms`/`ModelForms` API.
* Structural concerns are decoupled from encoding concerns.
* Able to support rendering and parsing to many formats, including both machine-readable representations and HTML forms.
* Validation that can be mapped to obvious and comprehensive error responses.
* Serializers that support both nested, flat, and partially-nested representations.
* Relationships that can be expressed as primary keys, hyperlinks, slug fields, and other custom representations.
Mapping between the internal state of the system and external representations of that state is the core concern of building Web APIs. Designing serializers that allow the developer to do so in a flexible and obvious way is a deceptively difficult design task, and with the new serialization API we think we've pretty much nailed it.
## Generic views
When REST framework was initially released at the start of 2011, the current Django release was version 1.2. REST framework included a backport of Django 1.3's upcoming `View` class, but it didn't take full advantage of the generic view implementations.
With the new release the generic views in REST framework now tie in with Django's generic views. The end result is that framework is clean, lightweight and easy to use.
## Requests, Responses & Views
REST framework 2 includes `Request` and `Response` classes, than are used in place of Django's existing `HttpRequest` and `HttpResponse` classes. Doing so allows logic such as parsing the incoming request or rendering the outgoing response to be supported transparently by the framework.
The `Request`/`Response` approach leads to a much cleaner API, less logic in the view itself, and a simple, obvious request-response cycle.
REST framework 2 also allows you to work with both function-based and class-based views. For simple API views all you need is a single `@api_view` decorator, and you're good to go.
## API Design
Pretty much every aspect of REST framework has been reworked, with the aim of ironing out some of the design flaws of the previous versions. Each of the components of REST framework are cleanly decoupled, and can be used independantly of each-other, and there are no monolithic resource classes, overcomplicated mixin combinations, or opinionated serialization or URL routing decisions.
## The Browseable API
Django REST framework's most unique feature is the way it is able to serve up both machine-readable representations, and a fully browsable HTML representation to the same endpoints.
Browseable Web APIs are easier to work with, visualize and debug, and generally makes it easier and more frictionless to inspect and work with.
With REST framework 2, the browseable API gets a snazzy new bootstrap-based theme that looks great and is even nicer to work with.
There are also some functionality improvments - actions such as as `POST` and `DELETE` will only display if the user has the appropriate permissions.
![Browseable API][image]
**Image above**: An example of the browseable API in REST framework 2
## Documentation
As you can see the documentation for REST framework has been radically improved. It gets a completely new style, using markdown for the documentation source, and a bootstrap-based theme for the styling.
We're really pleased with how the docs style looks - it's simple and clean, is easy to navigate around, and we think it reads great.
## Summary
In short, we've engineered the hell outta this thing, and we're incredibly proud of the result.
If you're interested please take a browse around the documentation. [The tutorial][tut] is a great place to get started.
There's also a [live sandbox version of the tutorial API][sandbox] available for testing.

## What REST framework provides.
It is self evident that REST framework makes it possible to build Hypermedia APIs. The browseable API that it offers is built on HTML - the hypermedia language of the web.
REST framework also includes [serialization] and [parser]/[renderer] components that make it easy to build appropriate media types, [hyperlinked relations][fields] for building well-connected systems, and great support for [content negotiation][conneg].
### What REST framework *doesn't* provide.
## What REST framework doesn't provide.
What REST framework doesn't do is give you is machine readable hypermedia formats such as [Collection+JSON][collection] or HTML [microformats] by default, or the ability to auto-magically create fully HATEOAS style APIs that include form descriptions, and semantically labelled hyperlinks. Doing so would involve making opinionated choices about API design that should really remain outside of the framework's scope.

We've now got a few snippet instances to play with. Let's take a look at serializing one of those instances.
serializer = CommentSerializer(instance=c1)
serializer = SnippetSerializer(instance=snippet)
serializer.data
# {'id': 1, 'email': u'leila@example.com', 'content': u'nothing to say', 'created': datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 22, 16, 20, 9, 822774, tzinfo=<UTC>)}
# {'pk': 1, 'title': u'', 'code': u'print "hello, world"\n', 'linenos': False, 'language': u'python', 'style': u'friendly'}
At this point we've translated the model instance into python native datatypes. To finalise the serialization process we render the data into `json`.
stream = JSONRenderer().render(serializer.data)
stream
# '{"id": 1, "email": "leila@example.com", "content": "nothing to say", "created": "2012-08-22T16:20:09.822"}'
content = JSONRenderer().render(serializer.data)
content
# '{"pk": 1, "title": "", "code": "print \\"hello, world\\"\\n", "linenos": false, "language": "python", "style": "friendly"}'
Deserialization is similar. First we parse a stream into python native datatypes...
import StringIO
stream = StringIO.StringIO(content)
data = JSONParser().parse(stream)
...then we restore those native datatypes into to a fully populated object instance.
serializer = CommentSerializer(data)
serializer = SnippetSerializer(data)
serializer.is_valid()
# True
serializer.object
# <Comment: Comment object>
# <Snippet: Snippet object>
Notice how similar the API is to working with forms. The similarity should become even more apparent when we start writing views that use our serializer.
## Writing regular Django views using our Serializers
## Using ModelSerializers
Our `SnippetSerializer` class is replicating a lot of information that's also contained in the `Snippet` model. It would be nice if we could keep out code a bit more concise.
In the same way that Django provides both `Form` classes and `ModelForm` classes, REST framework includes both `Serializer` classes, and `ModelSerializer` classes.
Let's look at refactoring our serializer using the `ModelSerializer` class.
Open the file `snippets/serializers.py` again, and edit the `SnippetSerializer` class.
class SnippetSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Snippet
fields = ('id', 'title', 'code', 'linenos', 'language', 'style')
## Writing regular Django views using our Serializer
Let's see how we can write some API views using our new Serializer class.
For the moment we won't use any of REST framework's other features, we'll just write the views as regular Django views.
We'll start off by creating a subclass of HttpResponse that we can use to render any data we return into `json`.
Edit the `blog/views.py` file, and add the following.
Edit the `snippet/views.py` file, and add the following.
from blog.models import Comment
from blog.serializers import CommentSerializer
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from rest_framework.renderers import JSONRenderer
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser
from snippets.models import Snippet
from snippets.serializers import SnippetSerializer
class JSONResponse(HttpResponse):
"""
An HttpResponse that renders it's content into JSON.
"""
def __init__(self, data, **kwargs):
content = JSONRenderer().render(data)
kwargs['content_type'] = 'application/json'
super(JSONResponse, self).__init__(content, **kwargs)
The root of our API is going to be a view that supports listing all the existing comments, or creating a new comment.

def comment_root(request):
def snippet_list(request):
"""
List all comments, or create a new comment.
List all code snippets, or create a new snippet.
"""
if request.method == 'GET':
comments = Comment.objects.all()
serializer = CommentSerializer(instance=comments)
snippets = Snippet.objects.all()
serializer = SnippetSerializer(instance=snippets)
return JSONResponse(serializer.data)
elif request.method == 'POST':
data = JSONParser().parse(request)
serializer = CommentSerializer(data)
serializer = SnippetSerializer(data)
if serializer.is_valid():
comment = serializer.object
comment.save()
serializer.save()
return JSONResponse(serializer.data, status=201)
else:
return JSONResponse(serializer.errors, status=400)
Note that because we want to be able to POST to this view from clients that won't have a CSRF token we need to mark the view as `csrf_exempt`. This isn't something that you'd normally want to do, and REST framework views actually use more sensible behavior than this, but it'll do for our purposes right now.
We'll also need a view which corresponds to an individual comment, and can be used to retrieve, update or delete the comment.

# Tutorial 4: Authentication & Permissions
Currently our API doesn't have any restrictions on who can edit or delete code snippets. We'd like to have some more advanced behavior in order to make sure that:
* Code snippets are always associated with a creator.
* Only authenticated users may create snippets.
* Only the creator of a snippet may update or delete it.
* Unauthenticated requests should have full read-only access.
## Adding information to our model
We're going to make a couple of changes to our `Snippet` model class.
First, let's add a couple of fields. One of those fields will be used to represent the user who created the code snippet. The other field will be used to store the highlighted HTML representation of the code.
Add the following two fields to the model.
owner = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', related_name='snippets')
highlighted = models.TextField()
We'd also need to make sure that when the model is saved, that we populate the highlighted field, using the `pygments` code higlighting library.
We'll need some extra imports:
from pygments.lexers import get_lexer_by_name
from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
from pygments import highlight
And now we can add a `.save()` method to our model class:
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Use the `pygments` library to create an highlighted HTML
representation of the code snippet.
"""
lexer = get_lexer_by_name(self.language)
linenos = self.linenos and 'table' or False
options = self.title and {'title': self.title} or {}
formatter = HtmlFormatter(style=self.style, linenos=linenos,
full=True, **options)
self.highlighted = highlight(self.code, lexer, formatter)
super(Snippet, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
When that's all done we'll need to update our database tables.
Normally we'd create a database migration in order to do that, but for the purposes of this tutorial, let's just delete the database and start again.
rm tmp.db
python ./manage.py syncdb
You might also want to create a few different users, to use for testing the API. The quickest way to do this will be with the `createsuperuser` command.
python ./manage.py createsuperuser
## Adding endpoints for our User models
Now that we've got some users to work with, we'd better add representations of those users to our API. Creating a new serializer is easy:
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
snippets = serializers.ManyPrimaryKeyRelatedField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('id', 'username', 'snippets')
Because `'snippets'` is a *reverse* relationship on the User model, it will not be included by default when using the `ModelSerializer` class, so we've needed to add an explicit field for it.
We'll also add a couple of views. We'd like to just use read-only views for the user representations, so we'll use the `ListAPIView` and `RetrieveAPIView` generic class based views.
class UserList(generics.ListAPIView):
model = User
serializer_class = UserSerializer
class UserInstance(generics.RetrieveAPIView):
model = User
serializer_class = UserSerializer
Finally we need to add those views into the API, by referencing them from the URL conf.
url(r'^users/$', views.UserList.as_view()),
url(r'^users/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.UserInstance.as_view())
## Associating Snippets with Users
Right now, if we created a code snippet, there'd be no way of associating the user that created the snippet, with the snippet instance. The user isn't sent as part of the serialized representation, but is instead a property of the incoming request.
The way we deal with that is by overriding a `.pre_save()` method on our snippet views, that allows us to handle any information that is implicit in the incoming request or requested URL.
On **both** the `SnippetList` and `SnippetDetail` view classes, add the following method:
def pre_save(self, obj):
obj.owner = self.request.user
## Updating our serializer
Now that snippets are associated with the user that created them, let's update our SnippetSerializer to reflect that.
Add the following field to the serializer definition:
owner = serializers.Field(source='owner.username')
**Note**: Make sure you also add `'owner',` to the list of fields in the inner `Meta` class.
This field is doing something quite interesting. The `source` argument controls which attribute is used to populate a field, and can point at any attribute on the serialized instance. It can also take the dotted notation shown above, in which case it will traverse the given attributes, in a similar way as it is used with Django's template language.
The field we've added is the untyped `Field` class, in contrast to the other typed fields, such as `CharField`, `BooleanField` etc... The untyped `Field` is always read-only, and will be used for serialized representations, but will not be used for updating model instances when they are deserialized.
**TODO: Explain the SessionAuthentication and BasicAuthentication classes, and demonstrate using HTTP basic authentication with curl requests**
## Adding required permissions to views
Now that code snippets are associated with users we want to make sure that only authenticated users are able to create, update and delete code snippets.
REST framework includes a number of permission classes that we can use to restrict who can access a given view. In this case the one we're looking for is `IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly`, which will ensure that authenticated requests get read-write access, and unauthenticated requests get read-only access.
First add the following import in the views module
from rest_framework import permissions
Then, add the following property to **both** the `SnippetList` and `SnippetDetail` view classes.
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)
**TODO: Now that the permissions are restricted, demonstrate using HTTP basic authentication with curl requests**
## Adding login to the Browseable API
If you open a browser and navigate to the browseable API at the moment, you'll find that you're no longer able to create new code snippets. In order to do so we'd need to be able to login as a user.
We can add a login view for use with the browseable API, by editing our URLconf once more.
Add the following import at the top of the file:
from django.conf.urls import include
And, at the end of the file, add a pattern to include the login and logout views for the browseable API.
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls',
namespace='rest_framework'))
)
The `r'^api-auth/'` part of pattern can actually be whatever URL you want to use. The only restriction is that the included urls must use the `'rest_framework'` namespace.
Now if you open up the browser again and refresh the page you'll see a 'Login' link in the top right of the page. If you log in as one of the users you created earier, you'll be able to create code snippets again.
Once you've created a few code snippets, navigate to the '/users/' endpoint, and notice that the representation includes a list of the snippet pks that are associated with each user, in each user's 'snippets' field.
## Object level permissions
Really we'd like all code snippets to be visible to anyone, but also make sure that only the user that created a code snippet is able update or delete it.
To do that we're going to need to create a custom permission.
In the snippets app, create a new file, `permissions.py`
from rest_framework import permissions
class IsOwnerOrReadOnly(permissions.BasePermission):
"""
Custom permission to only allow owners of an object to edit it.
"""
def has_permission(self, request, view, obj=None):
# Skip the check unless this is an object-level test
if obj is None:
return True
# Read permissions are allowed to any request
if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
return True
# Write permissions are only allowed to the owner of the snippet
return obj.owner == request.user
Now we can add that custom permission to our snippet instance endpoint, by editing the `permission_classes` property on the `SnippetDetail` class:
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,
IsOwnerOrReadOnly,)
Make sure to also import the `IsOwnerOrReadOnly` class.
from snippets.permissions import IsOwnerOrReadOnly
Now, if you open a browser again, you find that the 'DELETE' and 'PUT' actions only appear on a snippet instance endpoint if you're logged in as the same user that created the code snippet.
## Summary
We've now got a fairly fine-grained set of permissions on our Web API, and end points for users of the system and for the code snippets that they have created.
In [part 5][tut-5] of the tutorial we'll look at how we can tie everything together by creating an HTML endpoint for our hightlighted snippets, and improve the cohesion of our API by using hyperlinking for the relationships within the system.

# Tutorial 5 - Relationships & Hyperlinked APIs
**TODO**
At the moment relationships within our API are represented by using primary keys. In this part of the tutorial we'll improve the cohesion and discoverability of our API, by instead using hyperlinking for relationships.
* Create BlogPost model
* Demonstrate nested relationships
* Demonstrate and describe hyperlinked relationships
## Creating an endpoint for the root of our API
<!-- Onwards to [part 6][tut-6].
Right now we have endpoints for 'snippets' and 'users', but we don't have a single entry point to our API. To create one, we'll use a regular function-based view and the `@api_view` decorator we introduced earlier.
[tut-6]: 6-resource-orientated-projects.md -->
from rest_framework import renderers
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.reverse import reverse
@api_view(('GET',))
def api_root(request, format=None):
return Response({
'users': reverse('user-list', request=request),
'snippets': reverse('snippet-list', request=request)
})
Notice that we're using REST framework's `reverse` function in order to return fully-qualified URLs.
## Creating an endpoint for the highlighted snippets
The other obvious thing that's still missing from our pastebin API is the code highlighting endpoints.
Unlike all our other API endpoints, we don't want to use JSON, but instead just present an HTML representation. There are two style of HTML renderer provided by REST framework, one for dealing with HTML rendered using templates, the other for dealing with pre-rendered HTML. The second renderer is the one we'd like to use for this endpoint.
The other thing we need to consider when creating the code highlight view is that there's no existing concrete generic view that we can use. We're not returning an object instance, but instead a property of an object instance.
Instead of using a concrete generic view, we'll use the base class for representing instances, and create our own `.get()` method. In your snippets.views add:
from rest_framework import renderers
from rest_framework.response import Response
class SnippetHighlight(generics.SingleObjectAPIView):
model = Snippet
renderer_classes = (renderers.StaticHTMLRenderer,)
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
snippet = self.get_object()
return Response(snippet.highlighted)
As usual we need to add the new views that we've created in to our URLconf.
We'll add a url pattern for our new API root:
url(r'^$', 'api_root'),
And then add a url pattern for the snippet highlights:
url(r'^snippets/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/highlight/$', views.SnippetHighlight.as_view()),
## Hyperlinking our API
Dealing with relationships between entities is one of the more challenging aspects of Web API design. There are a number of different ways that we might choose to represent a relationship:
* Using primary keys.
* Using hyperlinking between entities.
* Using a unique identifying slug field on the related entity.
* Using the default string representation of the related entity.
* Nesting the related entity inside the parent representation.
* Some other custom representation.
REST framework supports all of these styles, and can apply them across forward or reverse relationships, or apply them across custom managers such as generic foreign keys.
In this case we'd like to use a hyperlinked style between entities. In order to do so, we'll modify our serializers to extend `HyperlinkedModelSerializer` instead of the existing `ModelSerializer`.
The `HyperlinkedModelSerializer` has the following differences from `ModelSerializer`:
* It does not include the `pk` field by default.
* It includes a `url` field, using `HyperlinkedIdentityField`.
* Relationships use `HyperlinkedRelatedField` and `ManyHyperlinkedRelatedField`,
instead of `PrimaryKeyRelatedField` and `ManyPrimaryKeyRelatedField`.
We can easily re-write our existing serializers to use hyperlinking.
class SnippetSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
owner = serializers.Field(source='owner.username')
highlight = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField(view_name='snippet-highlight', format='html')
class Meta:
model = models.Snippet
fields = ('url', 'highlight', 'owner',
'title', 'code', 'linenos', 'language', 'style')
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
snippets = serializers.ManyHyperlinkedRelatedField(view_name='snippet-detail')
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url', 'username', 'snippets')
Notice that we've also added a new `'highlight'` field. This field is of the same type as the `url` field, except that it points to the `'snippet-highlight'` url pattern, instead of the `'snippet-detail'` url pattern.
Because we've included format suffixed URLs such as `'.json'`, we also need to indicate on the `highlight` field that any format suffixed hyperlinks it returns should use the `'.html'` suffix.
## Making sure our URL patterns are named
If we're going to have a hyperlinked API, we need to make sure we name our URL patterns. Let's take a look at which URL patterns we need to name.
* The root of our API refers to `'user-list'` and `'snippet-list'`.
* Our snippet serializer includes a field that refers to `'snippet-highlight'`.
* Our user serializer includes a field that refers to `'snippet-detail'`.
* Our snippet and user serializers include `'url'` fields that by default will refer to `'{model_name}-detail'`, which in this case will be `'snippet-detail'` and `'user-detail'`.
After adding all those names into our URLconf, our final `'urls.py'` file should look something like this:
# API endpoints
urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(patterns('snippets.views',
url(r'^$', 'api_root'),
url(r'^snippets/$',

## Adding pagination
The list views for users and code snippets could end up returning quite a lot of instances, so really we'd like to make sure we paginate the results, and allow the API client to step through each of the individual pages.
We can change the default list style to use pagination, by modifying our `settings.py` file slightly. Add the following setting:
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'PAGINATE_BY': 10
}
Note that settings in REST framework are all namespaced into a single dictionary setting, named 'REST_FRAMEWORK', which helps keep them well seperated from your other project settings.
We could also customize the pagination style if we needed too, but in this case we'll just stick with the default.
## Reviewing our work
If we open a browser and navigate to the browseable API, you'll find that you can now work your way around the API simply by following links.
You'll also be able to see the 'highlight' links on the snippet instances, that will take you to the hightlighted code HTML representations.
We've now got a complete pastebin Web API, which is fully web browseable, and comes complete with authentication, per-object permissions, and multiple renderer formats.
We've walked through each step of the design process, and seen how if we need to customize anything we can gradually work our way down to simply using regular Django views.
You can review the final [tutorial code][repo] on GitHub, or try out a live example in [the sandbox][sandbox].

# Tutorial 6 - Resources
Resource classes are just View classes that don't have any handler methods bound to them. The actions on a resource are defined,
This allows us to:
* Encapsulate common behaviour across a class of views, in a single Resource class.
* Separate out the actions of a Resource from the specfics of how those actions should be bound to a particular set of URLs.
## Refactoring to use Resources, not Views
For instance, we can re-write our 4 sets of views into something more compact...
resources.py
class BlogPostResource(ModelResource):
serializer_class = BlogPostSerializer
model = BlogPost
permissions_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)
throttle_classes = (throttles.UserRateThrottle,)
class CommentResource(ModelResource):
serializer_class = CommentSerializer
model = Comment
permissions_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)
throttle_classes = (throttles.UserRateThrottle,)
## Binding Resources to URLs explicitly
The handler methods only get bound to the actions when we define the URLConf. Here's our urls.py:
comment_root = CommentResource.as_view(actions={
'get': 'list',
'post': 'create'
})
comment_instance = CommentInstance.as_view(actions={
'get': 'retrieve',
'put': 'update',
'delete': 'destroy'
})
... # And for blog post
urlpatterns = patterns('blogpost.views',
url(r'^$', comment_root),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)$', comment_instance)
... # And for blog post
)
## Using Routers
Right now that hasn't really saved us a lot of code. However, now that we're using Resources rather than Views, we actually don't need to design the urlconf ourselves. The conventions for wiring up resources into views and urls can be handled automatically, using `Router` classes. All we need to do is register the appropriate resources with a router, and let it do the rest. Here's our re-wired `urls.py` file.
from blog import resources
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(resources.BlogPostResource)
router.register(resources.CommentResource)
urlpatterns = router.urlpatterns
## Trade-offs between views vs resources.
Writing resource-oriented code can be a good thing. It helps ensure that URL conventions will be consistent across your APIs, and minimises the amount of code you need to write.
The trade-off is that the behaviour is less explict. It can be more difficult to determine what code path is being followed, or where to override some behaviour.
## Onwards and upwards.
