Using django with postman {"detail":"CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect."}

Question

I'm using postman to check json response from my django-rest-framework.

When my first try to post id, email, password through POST method to my django on AWS(amazon web services), it works well. It returned like:

  {
    "key": "99def123123123123d88e15771e3a8b43e71f"
}

But after first try, the other words, from second try it returned

{"detail":"CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect."}

(Additionally edit +) My putty terminal says "POST /rest-auth/login/ HTTP/1.1" 403 58

I saw http://kechengpuzi.com/q/s31108075, but it is not proper to my case.

and from http://django-rest-framework.narkive.com/sCyJk3hM/authentication-ordering-token-vs-session, i can't find solution which is using postman

1. How can i use postman appropriately?

2. Or Could you recommend other tools to use?

I'm making android application with retrofit2 So I need tools to check POST, GET method and responses.

Answer 1

If using token based authentication with DRF don't forget to set it in settings.py. Otherwise you'll get a CSRF error

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