API key permissions for Django REST Framework

Overview

Django REST Framework API Key is a library designed to provide API key permissions for the Django REST Framework, allowing server-side clients to securely interact with APIs. It simplifies the process of creating, viewing, and revoking API keys, offers a high level of security by treating keys like user passwords, and allows for customization to meet specific business requirements.

Features

  • Simple to use: Create, view, and revoke API keys via the admin site or programmatically.
  • Secure storage: API keys are hashed before storing in the database for enhanced security.
  • Customizable: Build custom API key models, permission classes, and admin panels for specific business needs.
