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

``I am trying to implement token authentication in my Django Rest Framework application. I am able to receive a token from the django server but when I send a request with 'Authorization' header, I receive the following error:

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

I have also checked the request.META and there is no key with name "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION". I am running my django app on development server.

Views.py

# Create your views here.
from rest_framework.authentication import SessionAuthentication, BasicAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view,authentication_classes,permission_classes
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import permission_required,login_required
import google.cloud.storage
import uuid
import psycopg2


@api_view(['GET'])
@authentication_classes((SessionAuthentication, BasicAuthentication))
@permission_classes((IsAuthenticated,))
def auth_test(request):
    return Response("it's great to have you here with token auth!!")

@api_view(['GET'])
def free_test(request):
    #print(request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'])
    return Response("entry without token auth !!")

What is the reason that my authorization credentials are not received by django server?

You are trying to access your view using Token auth method, and you are not mentioned that in authentication_classes. Try the following code


from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication


@api_view(['GET'])
@authentication_classes((SessionAuthentication, TokenAuthentication, BasicAuthentication))
@permission_classes((IsAuthenticated,))
def auth_test(request):
    return Response("it's great to have you here with token auth!!")
