Django cannot get the current user using rest-auth/user/

I am using Django with React and I am able to login the user with http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/login/' and register user with http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/registration/

I am trying to get the current user:

axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/user/')
    .then(res => {
        console.log(res)
    })

But I am getting the following error:

GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/user/ 403 (Forbidden)

I also tried it on postman and I get the following:

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

Can someone show me the correct way to do it? Thanks in advance.

This is because your route needs Authorization token. 

axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/user/, {
       headers: {'Authorization': "Bearer " + token}
    })
    .then(res => {
        console.log(res)
    })
