 | |
| 
 | |
| 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 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, and [great community support][group].
 | |
| * Used and trusted by internationally recognized companies including [Mozilla][mozilla], [Red Hat][redhat], [Heroku][heroku], and [Eventbrite][eventbrite].

| 
 | |
| ## Requirements
 | |
| 
 | |
| REST framework requires the following:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Django (4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2)
 | |
| * Python (3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)
 | |
| 
 | |
| We **highly recommend** and only officially support the latest patch release of
 | |
| each Python and Django series.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following packages are optional:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * [PyYAML][pyyaml], [uritemplate][uriteemplate] (5.1+, 3.0.0+) - Schema generation support.
 | |
| * [Markdown][markdown] (3.3.0+) - Markdown support for the browsable API.
 | |
| * [Pygments][pygments] (2.7.0+) - Add syntax highlighting to Markdown processing.
 | |
| * [django-filter][django-filter] (1.0.1+) - Filtering support.
 | |
| * [django-guardian][django-guardian] (1.1.1+) - Object level permissions support.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Installation
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install using `pip`, including any optional packages you want...
 | |
| 
 | |
|     pip install djangorestframework
 | |
|     pip install markdown       # Markdown support for the browsable API.
 | |
|     pip install django-filter  # Filtering support
 | |
| 
 | |
| ...or clone the project from github.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     git clone https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework
 | |
| 
 | |
| Add `'rest_framework'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     INSTALLED_APPS = [
 | |
|         ...
 | |
|         'rest_framework',
 | |
|     ]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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 `urls.py` file.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     urlpatterns = [
 | |
|         ...
 | |
|         path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls'))
 | |
|     ]
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that the URL path can be whatever you want.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Example
 | |
| 
 | |
| Let's take a look at a quick example of using REST framework to build a simple model-backed API.
 | |
| 
 | |
| We'll create a read-write API for accessing information on the users of our project.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Any global settings for a REST framework API are kept in a single configuration dictionary named `REST_FRAMEWORK`.  Start off by adding the following to your `settings.py` module:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     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'
 | |
|         ]
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| Don't forget to make sure you've also added `rest_framework` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| We're ready to create our API now.
 | |
| Here's our project's root `urls.py` module:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     from django.urls import path, 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 = [
 | |
|         path('', include(router.urls)),
 | |
|         path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
 | |
|     ]
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can now open the API in your browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Quickstart
 | |

 | |
| Can't wait to get started? The [quickstart guide][quickstart] is the fastest way to get up and running, and building APIs with REST framework.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Development
 | |
| 
 | |
| See the [Contribution guidelines][contributing] for information on how to clone
 | |
| the repository, run the test suite and help maintain the code base of REST
 | |
| Framework.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Support
 | |
| 
 | |
| For support please see the [REST framework discussion group][group], try the `#restframework` channel on `irc.libera.chat`, or raise a question on [Stack Overflow][stack-overflow], making sure to include the ['django-rest-framework'][django-rest-framework-tag] tag.
