How do I use an Django Rest Framework with API key per account (not user)?

Question

For Django, both tastypie and django-rest-framework seem to be focused on API authentication/authorization/throttling per user. I want to expose an API that is per account, where an account might have multiple users administrating it. What is the best way to approach this problem?

Answer 1

The django-rest-framework can achieve this. You don't have to throttling a user, these are options. You could have Basic Authentication for one account (username and password) that multiple user have access to.

You have Custom Authentication will any manner of options. Digest Authentication and much more.
