I am starting with django-rest-framework and I can't find the way to access the Token value from the view, is it possible? I am not using built-in token generator, I use a custom function to do it. In request's headers I give this:
Authorization: 'Token kjansfd98qhr23d09823098fdj'
How can I access that value in the view? Or maybe there's a best way to work with custom tokens.
PD: I am not using Django's default User model.

The high-level overview of validating an access token looks like this: Retrieve and parse your Okta JSON Web Keys (JWK), which should be checked periodically and cached by your application. Decode the access token, which is in JSON Web Token format. Verify the signature used to sign the access token.
The OAuth access token is different from the JWT in the sense that it's an opaque token. The access token's purpose is so that the client application can query Google to ask for more information about the signed in user. email: The end user's email ID.
Obtain the access token To request an access token, send a POST request containing the JWT to the DocuSign authentication service. The response to a successful request will include your access token value.
You can access them within a view using request.META, which is a dictionary. So you can use request.META.get('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION') to access autherizatoin token.

If you are deploying to Apache, and using any non-session based authentication, you will need to explicitly configure mod_wsgi to pass the required headers through to the application. This can be done by specifying the WSGIPassAuthorization directive in the appropriate context and setting it to 'On'.
