Django Rest Framework Postman Token Authentication

I am using Django Rest Framework Token authentication and if i do curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/users/?format=json -H 'Authorization: Token 0a813fdcd3f8846d6fa376f2592bbc678b0b8e85' everything works fine.

But when i try to achieve that with Postman chrome client it nothing happens. What am i doing wrong??

After get access token from http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/login/

such this :

{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "tokens": {
        "refresh": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoicmVmcmVzaCIsImV4cCI6MTY2NjI2NTAxMSwiaWF0IjoxNjY2MTc4NjExLCJqdGkiOiJjZWM3MzJmNDZkMGE0MTNjOTE3ODM5ZGYxNzRiNzMxZCIsInVzZXJfaWQiOjcwfQ.5Rd25s6msp72IHyU1BxE4ym24YIEbhyFsBdUztGXz0I",
        "access": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoiYWNjZXNzIiwiZXhwIjoxNjY2MjY1MDExLCJpYXQiOjE2NjYxNzg2MTEsImp0aSI6IjgyOWFmZGE5MWY2ODRhNDZhMDllZGMzMmI0NmY0Mzg5IiwidXNlcl9pZCI6NzB9.TYhi0INai293ljc5zBk59Hwet-m9a1Mc1CtA56BEE_8"
    },
    "id": 70
}

copy content of "access" key in response, then in post man in Headers add new item by key : Authorization and value such this:

Bearer eyJ0eXAi....

that eyJ0eXAi.... is value of access key.

enter image description here

then send the request.

After Specifying Authorization and Token value try to add the token in an environment so that every time you don't have to copy the token value.

enter image description hereFor the new version of postman it is necessary to choose Auth 2 type authentication in the left panel, then in the right panel, specify the DRf key which is "Token" and in the value the token itself.

In addition to the above answer, make sure to enable "Follow Authorization header" under setting (See below screenshot) enter image description here

You are setting the header to Authorization: Token when it really should just be Authorization. The header is actually just Authorization, but the value is Token [token_string], where [token_string] is the authorization token that you have obtained.
