 def get(self,request,**kwargs):
        token = request.headers['token']
        queryset=models.Schedule.objects.filter()
        serializer_class= RepScheduleSerializer(queryset,many=True)
        return Response(serializer_class.data)

The headers of a request are stored in the request.META dictionary [Django-doc]. You thus should alter the code to:

def get(self,request,**kwargs):
        token = request.META['HTTP_TOKEN']
        queryset = models.Schedule.objects.all()
        serializer_class = RepScheduleSerializer(queryset,many=True)
        return Response(serializer_class.data)

Right now however, you do not do anything with this token. You thus might need to alter the logic.

Note that the keys are pre-processed:

With the exception of CONTENT_LENGTH and CONTENT_TYPE, as given above, any HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and adding an HTTP_ prefix to the name. So, for example, a header called X-Bender would be mapped to the META key HTTP_X_BENDER.

Since , there is the request.headers dictionary-like object [Django-doc], that allows case-insensitive lookups. Based on the error message, you however do not use .
