how to add token auth to swagger + django rest framework?
I answer myself since I made it work.
Actually Swagger settings has an option for this, api_key ->
SWAGGER_SETTINGS = {
"exclude_namespaces": [], # List URL namespaces to ignore
"api_version": '0.1', # Specify your API's version
"api_path": "/", # Specify the path to your API not a root level
"enabled_methods": [ # Specify which methods to enable in Swagger UI
'get',
'post',
'put',
'patch',
'delete'
],
"api_key": '', # An API key
"is_authenticated": False, # Set to True to enforce user authentication,
"is_superuser": False, # Set to True to enforce admin only access
}
To me it wasn't that clear, but I've just input a valid token for testing user and it worked for the auth needed views :-)
If you're using token authentication, you might want to look at this question
Basically, you just need to add this to your settings.py
:
SWAGGER_SETTINGS = {
'SECURITY_DEFINITIONS': {
'api_key': {
'type': 'apiKey',
'in': 'header',
'name': 'Authorization'
}
},
}
In your Swagger UI page you should see an Authorize button. Click that and enter your Authorization value in the input text field.
