ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework.authentications'

When I run python manage.py migrate command, I am having the following error:

ImportError: Could not import 'rest_framework.authentications.SessionAuthentiation' for API setting 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES'. 
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework.authentications'.

Rest-framework-related parts of my code:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    # 3rd party
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework.authtoken',

    # Local
    'posts.apps.PostsConfig',
]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ],
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentications.SessionAuthentiation',
        'rest_framework.authentications.TokenAuthentication',
    ],
}

I am reading and going along with Django for APIs by W. S. Vincent.

Check the documentation : https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#setting-the-authentication-scheme

It says :

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    ]
}

Change rest_framework.authentications to rest_framework.authentication in your case. Remove the trailing s.
