disable django rest framework authentication for special functions

I am using django rest framework for authentication.

 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'
    ),

But in my register function:

class UserRegister(APIView):
    @staticmethod
    def post(request, user_name):
.
.
.
.
.

obviously I do not need token, however I am getting error:

"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."

I tried this possible answer: this answer

but I am encountering this error:

'staticmethod' object has no attribute '__name__'

and by deleting @staticmethod decorator, I am getting the previous error again:

"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."

How to exclude this special function from requiring token?

tnx

this is the option for it

from rest_framework.permissions import AllowAny

class ViewName(APIView):
    permission_classes = [AllowAny]
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        ......

Try this....

I think this might work,

class UserRegister(APIView):
    authentication_classes = [] 

    def post(request, user_name):
        # do your stuff
        return Response()

If you want to disable authentication completely on any DRF view, you can override the permission_classes field.

Your code should look something like : 

class UserRegister(APIView):

    permission_classes = []

    def post():
