Django Rest Framework - Authentication credentials were not provided

If you are running Django on Apache using mod_wsgi you have to add

WSGIPassAuthorization On

in your httpd.conf. Otherwise, the authorization header will be stripped out by mod_wsgi.

Solved by adding "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES" to my settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
   'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
       'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
   ),
   'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser'
   ),
}
