Django do not ask user from database for request

In my Django project I have a public API endpoint built with Django Rest Framework's APIView. It does not need to know anything about the user. Still, Django automatically fetches the session and the user from the database. Is there a way to not do this since it causes two unnecessary DB hits?

Here is the code:

class TermListView(APIView):
    permission_classes = ()

    def get(self, request, format=None):
        qs = Term.objects.all().only('original_word')
        return Response([term.original_word for term in qs])

You need to add authentication_classes = () to the View class. This tells Django not to worry about the user. Or you can also configure this option globally for all your endpoints.
