Introduction When learning Django REST Framework (DRF), the best way to truly understand how everything fits together is to build a complete API project. So far,…

When building APIs, one of the most crucial aspects of application design is access control — deciding who can perform which actions. Django REST Framework (DRF) provides a flexible and powerful permission system that integrates tightly with Django’s authentication framework. This post will walk through everything you need to know about permissions in DRF: how…

Introduction Authentication is one of the most important aspects of any web application, especially APIs. When building APIs using Django REST Framework (DRF), securing your endpoints to ensure that only authorized users can access or manipulate data is a critical step. DRF provides several built-in authentication mechanisms that can be easily integrated into your project.…

One of the most essential parts of building an efficient REST API is handling large datasets gracefully. As your application grows, returning thousands of records in a single response becomes inefficient, slow, and memory-intensive — both for your server and your clients. That’s where pagination comes into play. Django REST Framework (DRF) provides a simple…

Building modern web applications often requires a backend that exposes data and operations via RESTful APIs. Django REST Framework (DRF) is one of the most powerful and flexible libraries available for building RESTful APIs using Django. One of its core strengths is how easily it allows developers to perform CRUD operations — Create, Read, Update,…

Introduction Every web application that interacts with data must provide a way to Create, Read, Update, and Delete — commonly known as CRUD operations. Whether you’re building a book library, a task management system, or an e-commerce platform, CRUD operations form the backbone of any backend system. In Django REST Framework (DRF), handling CRUD operations…

When developing APIs in Django REST Framework (DRF), developers have multiple approaches to structuring views. Two of the most common approaches are Function-Based Views (FBVs) and Class-Based Views (CBVs). Although DRF provides higher-level abstractions like ViewSets and Generic Views, understanding function-based and class-based views remains essential because they form the foundation of how DRF processes…

Introduction Building robust and scalable APIs is one of the most common needs in modern web development. Django REST Framework (DRF) provides developers with powerful tools to simplify this process, enabling you to write clean, maintainable, and efficient API endpoints. One of the most valuable components in DRF is the ViewSet, which works in conjunction…

The Django REST Framework (DRF) is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs using Django. In the modern world of application development, APIs have become the backbone of communication between systems, applications, and devices. Whether you are building a mobile app backend, integrating with third-party systems, or developing microservices, APIs are essential. Django…
