# Funding
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
REST framework is a *collaboratively funded project*. If you use
 | 
						|
REST framework commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its
 | 
						|
continued development by [signing up for a paid plan][funding].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The initial aim is to provide a single full-time position on REST framework.
 | 
						|
*Every single sign-up makes a significant impact towards making that possible.*

# Overview
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
 | 
						|
* [Authentication policies][authentication] including optional packages for [OAuth1a][oauth1-section] and [OAuth2][oauth2-section].
 | 
						|
* [Serialization][serializers] that supports both [ORM][modelserializer-section] and [non-ORM][serializer-section] data sources.
 | 
						|
* Customizable all the way down - just use [regular function-based views][functionview-section] if you don't need the [more][generic-views] [powerful][viewsets] [features][routers].
 | 
						|
* [Extensive documentation][docs], and [great community support][group].
 | 
						|

# Requirements
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Python 3.10+
 | 
						|
* Django 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We **highly recommend** and only officially support the latest patch release of
 | 
						|
each Python and Django series.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install using `pip`...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    pip install djangorestframework
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add `'rest_framework'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
INSTALLED_APPS = [
 | 
						|
    # ...
 | 
						|
    "rest_framework",
 | 
						|
]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Let's take a look at a quick example of using REST framework to build a simple model-backed API for accessing users and groups.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Startup up a new project like so...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    pip install django
 | 
						|
    pip install djangorestframework
 | 
						|
    django-admin startproject example .
 | 
						|
    ./manage.py migrate
 | 
						|
    ./manage.py createsuperuser
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now edit the `example/urls.py` module in your project:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 | 
						|
from django.urls import include, path
 | 
						|
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 a 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 = [
 | 
						|
    path("", include(router.urls)),
 | 
						|
    path("api-auth/", include("rest_framework.urls", namespace="rest_framework")),
 | 
						|
]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We'd also like to configure a couple of settings for our API.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add the following to your `settings.py` module:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
INSTALLED_APPS = [
 | 
						|
    # ... make sure to include the default installed apps here.
 | 
						|
    "rest_framework",
 | 
						|
]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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",
 | 
						|
    ]
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
That's it, we're done!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ./manage.py runserver
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can now open the API in your browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`, 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can also interact with the API using command line tools such as [`curl`](https://curl.haxx.se/). For example, to list the users endpoint:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ curl -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u admin:password http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/
 | 
						|
    [
 | 
						|
        {
 | 
						|
            "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/1/",
 | 
						|
            "username": "admin",
 | 
						|
            "email": "admin@example.com",
 | 
						|
            "is_staff": true,
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
    ]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or to create a new user:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ curl -X POST -d username=new -d email=new@example.com -d is_staff=false -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u admin:password http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/2/",
 | 
						|
        "username": "new",
 | 
						|
        "email": "new@example.com",
 | 
						|
        "is_staff": false,
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
 |
