<p>Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.</p>
<p>Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.</li>
<li><a href="api-guide/authentication/">Authentication policies</a> including packages for <a href="api-guide/authentication/#django-rest-framework-oauth">OAuth1a</a> and <a href="api-guide/authentication/#django-oauth-toolkit">OAuth2</a>.</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>Extensive documentation, and <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/django-rest-framework">great community support</a>.</li>
<li>Used and trusted by internationally recognized companies including <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/">Mozilla</a>, <a href="https://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</a>, <a href="https://www.heroku.com/">Heroku</a>, and <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/about/">Eventbrite</a>.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="requirements">Requirements<a class="headerlink" href="#requirements" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>REST framework requires the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Django (4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2)</li>
<li>Python (3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)</li>
</ul>
<p>We <strong>highly recommend</strong> and only officially support the latest patch release of
each Python and Django series.</p>
<p>The following packages are optional:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/">PyYAML</a>, <a href="https://pypi.org/project/uritemplate/">uritemplate</a> (5.1+, 3.0.0+) - Schema generation support.</li>
<li><a href="https://pypi.org/project/Markdown/">Markdown</a> (3.3.0+) - Markdown support for the browsable API.</li>
<li><a href="https://pypi.org/project/Pygments/">Pygments</a> (2.7.0+) - Add syntax highlighting to Markdown processing.</li>
<li><a href="https://pypi.org/project/django-filter/">django-filter</a> (1.0.1+) - Filtering support.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/django-guardian/django-guardian">django-guardian</a> (1.1.1+) - Object level permissions support.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="installation">Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Install using <code>pip</code>, including any optional packages you want...</p>
<div class="language-bash highlight"><pre><span></span><code>pip<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>djangorestframework
pip<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>markdown<span class="w"> </span><span class="c1"># Markdown support for the browsable API.</span>
pip<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>django-filter<span class="w"> </span><span class="c1"># Filtering support</span>

<p>...or clone the project from github.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlight"><pre><span></span><code>git<span class="w"> </span>clone<span class="w"> </span>https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework
</code></pre></div>
<p>Add <code>'rest_framework'</code> to your <code>INSTALLED_APPS</code> setting.</p>
<div class="language-python highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="n">INSTALLED_APPS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span>
<span class="c1"># ...</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;rest_framework&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="p">]</span>
</code></pre></div>
<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>
<div class="language-python highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="n">urlpatterns</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span>
<span class="c1"># ...</span>
<span class="n">path</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;api-auth/&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">include</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;rest_framework.urls&quot;</span><span class="p">))</span>
<span class="p">]</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Note that the URL path can be whatever you want.</p>
<h2 id="example">Example<a class="headerlink" href="#example" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></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>
<div class="language-python highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="n">REST_FRAMEWORK</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="c1"># Use Django&#39;s standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,</span>
<span class="c1"># or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">[</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly&quot;</span>
<span class="p">]</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre></div>
<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>
<div class="language-python highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">django.urls</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">path</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">include</span>

<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>
