| <p>Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit that makes it easy to build Web APIs.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:</p>
 | ||
| <ul>
 | ||
| <li>The <a href="http://restframework.herokuapp.com/">Web browsable API</a> is a huge usability win for your developers.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="api-guide/authentication/">Authentication policies</a> including <a href="./api-guide/authentication#oauthauthentication">OAuth1a</a> and <a href="./api-guide/authentication#oauth2authentication">OAuth2</a> out of the box.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="api-guide/serializers/">Serialization</a> that supports both <a href="./api-guide/serializers#modelserializer">ORM</a> and <a href="./api-guide/serializers#serializers">non-ORM</a> data sources.</li>
 | ||
| <li>Customizable all the way down - just use <a href="./api-guide/views#function-based-views">regular function-based views</a> if you don't need the <a href="api-guide/generic-views/">more</a> <a href="api-guide/viewsets/">powerful</a> <a href="api-guide/routers/">features</a>.</li>

| <li><a href="./.">Extensive documentation</a>, and <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/django-rest-framework">great community support</a>.</li>

 | ||
| <h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2>
 | ||
| <p>REST framework requires the following:</p>
 | ||
| <ul>
 | ||
| <li>Python (2.6.5+, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4)</li>
 | ||
| <li>Django (1.4.11+, 1.5.5+, 1.6, 1.7)</li>
 | ||
| </ul>
 | ||
| <p>The following packages are optional:</p>
 | ||
| <ul>
 | ||
| <li><a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown/">Markdown</a> (2.1.0+) - Markdown support for the browsable API.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyYAML">PyYAML</a> (3.10+) - YAML content-type support.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/defusedxml">defusedxml</a> (0.3+) - XML content-type support.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-filter">django-filter</a> (0.5.4+) - Filtering support.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="https://bitbucket.org/david/django-oauth-plus/wiki/Home">django-oauth-plus</a> (2.0+) and <a href="https://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2">oauth2</a> (1.5.211+) - OAuth 1.0a support.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="https://github.com/caffeinehit/django-oauth2-provider">django-oauth2-provider</a> (0.2.3+) - OAuth 2.0 support.</li>
 | ||
| <li><a href="https://github.com/lukaszb/django-guardian">django-guardian</a> (1.1.1+) - Object level permissions support.</li>
 | ||
| </ul>
 | ||
| <p><strong>Note</strong>: The <code>oauth2</code> Python package is badly misnamed, and actually provides OAuth 1.0a support.  Also note that packages required for both OAuth 1.0a, and OAuth 2.0 are not yet Python 3 compatible.</p>
 | ||
| <h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
 | ||
| <p>Install using <code>pip</code>, including any optional packages you want...</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>pip install djangorestframework
 | ||
| pip install markdown       # Markdown support for the browsable API.
 | ||
| pip install django-filter  # Filtering support
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>...or clone the project from github.</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>git clone git@github.com:tomchristie/django-rest-framework.git
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>Add <code>'rest_framework'</code> to your <code>INSTALLED_APPS</code> setting.</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>INSTALLED_APPS = (
 | ||
|     ...
 | ||
|     'rest_framework',
 | ||
| )
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>If you're intending to use the browsable API you'll probably also want to add REST framework's login and logout views.  Add the following to your root <code>urls.py</code> file.</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>urlpatterns = [
 | ||
|     ...
 | ||
|     url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
 | ||
| ]
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>Note that the URL path can be whatever you want, but you must include <code>'rest_framework.urls'</code> with the <code>'rest_framework'</code> namespace.</p>
 | ||
| <h2 id="example">Example</h2>
 | ||
| <p>Let's take a look at a quick example of using REST framework to build a simple model-backed API.</p>
 | ||
| <p>We'll create a read-write API for accessing information on the users of our project.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Any global settings for a REST framework API are kept in a single configuration dictionary named <code>REST_FRAMEWORK</code>.  Start off by adding the following to your <code>settings.py</code> module:</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
 | ||
|     # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
 | ||
|     # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
 | ||
|     'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
 | ||
|         'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly'
 | ||
|     ]
 | ||
| }
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>Don't forget to make sure you've also added <code>rest_framework</code> to your <code>INSTALLED_APPS</code>.</p>
 | ||
| <p>We're ready to create our API now.
 | ||
| Here's our project's root <code>urls.py</code> module:</p>
 | ||
| <pre><code>from django.conf.urls import url, include
 | ||
| from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 | ||
| from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # Serializers define the API representation.
 | ||
| class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
 | ||
|     class Meta:
 | ||
|         model = User
 | ||
|         fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff')
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # ViewSets define the view behavior.
 | ||
| class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
 | ||
|     queryset = User.objects.all()
 | ||
|     serializer_class = UserSerializer
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # Routers provide an easy way of automatically determining the URL conf.
 | ||
| router = routers.DefaultRouter()
 | ||
| router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.
 | ||
| # Additionally, we include login URLs for the browsable API.
 | ||
| urlpatterns = [
 | ||
|     url(r'^', include(router.urls)),
 | ||
|     url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
 | ||
| ]
 | ||
| </code></pre>
 | ||
| <p>You can now open the API in your browser at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/">http://127.0.0.1:8000/</a>, and view your new 'users' API. If you use the login control in the top right corner you'll also be able to add, create and delete users from the system.</p>
