Answer 1

In settings.py file

INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
...
...
...
'rest_framework.authtoken',
...
]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    ),
}

in project urls.py

from rest_framework.authtoken import views

urlpatterns = [
    ....
    path('api-token-auth/',views.obtain_auth_token,name='api-token-auth')

]

Open terminal as

$ pip3 install httpie
$ python3 manage.py createsuperuser # if not created
$ http POST http://localhost:8000/api-token-auth/ username="username" password = "password"   # You will get token key (Just copy it) ex:a243re43fdeg7r4rfgedwe89320

You token key will be also automatically saved in your databases

Go to postman header (like in example) Ex: screenshot from postman ,where and how to paste accessed toke Then insert you token key.
