To use the `TokenAuthentication` scheme, you must have a token model. Django REST Framework comes with a minimal default token model. To use it, include `djangorestframework.tokenauth` in your installed applications. To use your own token model, subclass the `djangorestframework.tokenauth.authentication.TokenAuthentication` class and specify a `model` attribute that references your custom token model. The token model must provide `user`, `key`, and `revoked` attributes. For convenience, the `djangorestframework.tokenauth.models.BaseToken` abstract model implements this minimum contract, and also randomly populates the key field when none is provided. -- cgit v1.2.3
