Django Rest Framework how to disable authentication and authorization

Question

I am trying to build a system in Django without using any of its batteries -- auth, admin etc. The system uses the Django rest framework for the API.

However, when I try to request to an API, I keep getting this error:

Model class django.contrib.auth.models.Permission doesn't declare an explicit
app_label and isn't in an application in INSTALLED_APPS.

I do not want to use django.contrib.auth at all. I did the following inside my DRF API View class:

class NewsPostView(APIView):
    permission_classes = None

    def get(self, request, format=None):
        posts = NewsPost.objects.all()
        serializer = NewsPostSerializer(posts, many=True)
        return Response([])

However, I am still getting the same error. How can I disable auth from DRF?

Answer 1

I have solved my issue. After @Linovia's response, I checked the docs etc of DRF and changed the following properties:

REST_FRAMEWORK = { 
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [],
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [],
    'UNAUTHENTICATED_USER': None,
}

And everything worked.
