<h1 id="settings">Settings</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>Namespaces are one honking great idea - let's do more of those!</p>
<p>&mdash; <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/">The Zen of Python</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside a single Django setting, named <code>REST_FRAMEWORK</code>.</p>
<p>For example your project's <code>settings.py</code> file might include something like this:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
),
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
)
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="accessing-settings">Accessing settings</h2>
<p>If you need to access the values of REST framework's API settings in your project,
you should use the <code>api_settings</code> object. For example.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>api_settings</code> object will check for any user-defined settings, and otherwise fall back to the default values. Any setting that uses string import paths to refer to a class will automatically import and return the referenced class, instead of the string literal.</p>
<hr />
<h1 id="api-reference">API Reference</h1>
<h2 id="api-policy-settings">API policy settings</h2>
<p><em>The following settings control the basic API policies, and are applied to every <code>APIView</code> class based view, or <code>@api_view</code> function based view.</em></p>
<h4 id="default_renderer_classes">DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES</h4>
<p>A list or tuple of renderer classes, that determines the default set of renderers that may be used when returning a <code>Response</code> object.</p>
<p>Default:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>(
'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="default_parser_classes">DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES</h4>
<p>A list or tuple of parser classes, that determines the default set of parsers used when accessing the <code>request.DATA</code> property.</p>
<p>Default:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>(
'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',
'rest_framework.parsers.FormParser',
'rest_framework.parsers.MultiPartParser'
)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="default_authentication_classes">DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES</h4>
<p>A list or tuple of authentication classes, that determines the default set of authenticators used when accessing the <code>request.user</code> or <code>request.auth</code> properties.</p>
<p>Default:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>(
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'
)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="default_permission_classes">DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES</h4>
<p>A list or tuple of permission classes, that determines the default set of permissions checked at the start of a view.</p>
<p>Default:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>(
'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="default_throttle_classes">DEFAULT_THROTTLE_CLASSES</h4>
<p>A list or tuple of throttle classes, that determines the default set of throttles checked at the start of a view.</p>
<p>Default: <code>()</code></p>
<h4 id="default_content_negotiation_class">DEFAULT_CONTENT_NEGOTIATION_CLASS</h4>
<p>A content negotiation class, that determines how a renderer is selected for the response, given an incoming request.</p>
<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.negotiation.DefaultContentNegotiation'</code></p>
<hr />
<h2 id="generic-view-settings">Generic view settings</h2>
<p><em>The following settings control the behavior of the generic class based views.</em></p>
<h4 id="default_model_serializer_class">DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS</h4>
<p>A class that determines the default type of model serializer that should be used by a generic view if <code>model</code> is specified, but <code>serializer_class</code> is not provided.</p>
<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.serializers.ModelSerializer'</code></p>
<h4 id="default_pagination_serializer_class">DEFAULT_PAGINATION_SERIALIZER_CLASS</h4>
<p>A class the determines the default serialization style for paginated responses.</p>
<p>Default: <code>rest_framework.pagination.PaginationSerializer</code></p>
<h4 id="default_filter_backends">DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS</h4>
<p>A list of filter backend classes that should be used for generic filtering.
If set to <code>None</code> then generic filtering is disabled.</p>
<h4 id="paginate_by">PAGINATE_BY</h4>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
}
</code></pre>
<p>A client would be able to modify the pagination size by using the <code>page_size</code> query parameter. For example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=25
</code></pre>
<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>
<h4 id="max_paginate_by">MAX_PAGINATE_BY</h4>
<p>The maximum page size to allow when the page size is specified by the client. If set to <code>None</code>, then no maximum limit is applied.</p>
<p>For example, given the following settings:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
'MAX_PAGINATE_BY': 100
}
</code></pre>
<p>A client request like the following would return a paginated list of up to 100 items.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=999
</code></pre>
<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>

<h4 id="test_request_renderer_classes">TEST_REQUEST_RENDERER_CLASSES</h4>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>(
'rest_framework.renderers.MultiPartRenderer',

<p><em>The following settings provide URL or form-based overrides of the default browser behavior.</em></p>
<h4 id="form_method_override">FORM_METHOD_OVERRIDE</h4>
<p>The name of a form field that may be used to override the HTTP method of the form.</p>
<p>If the value of this setting is <code>None</code> then form method overloading will be disabled.</p>
<p>Default: <code>'_method'</code></p>
<h4 id="form_content_override">FORM_CONTENT_OVERRIDE</h4>
<p>The name of a form field that may be used to override the content of the form payload. Must be used together with <code>FORM_CONTENTTYPE_OVERRIDE</code>.</p>

<h2 id="view-names-and-descriptions">View names and descriptions</h2>

<h4 id="view_name_function">VIEW_NAME_FUNCTION</h4>
<p>A string representing the function that should be used when generating view names.</p>
<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>view_name(cls, suffix=None)
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>cls</code>: The view class. Typically the name function would inspect the name of the class when generating a descriptive name, by accessing <code>cls.__name__</code>.</li>

<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>view_description(cls, html=False)
