Django REST Simple API Key

An API Key authentication plugin for the Django REST Framework.

Django REST Simple Api Key is a package built upon Django, Django REST Framework, and the fernet cryptography module to generate, encrypt, and decrypt API keys.

New to API-key authentication in Django, or deciding between packages? See Getting Started for a full walkthrough, or Comparison with Other Packages if you're weighing this against djangorestframework-api-key, OAuth2, or JWT.

Acknowledgments

This project borrows code from the Django REST Framework as well as concepts from the implementation of another API Key library for the Django REST Framework, djangorestframework-api-key.
