## Introduction

**Django REST Framework API Key is a library for allowing server-side clients to safely use your API.** These clients are typically third-party backends and services (i.e. _machines_) which do not have a user account but still need to interact with your API in a secure way.

### Features

- ✌️ **Simple to use**: create, view and revoke API keys via the admin site, or use built-in helpers to create API keys programmatically.
- 🔒 **As secure as possible**: API keys are treated with the same level of care as user passwords. They are only visible at creation and hashed before storing in the database.
- 🎨 **Customizable**: satisfy specific business requirements by building your own customized API key models, permission classes and admin panels.

### Should I use API keys?

There are important security aspects you need to consider before switching to an API key access control scheme. We've listed some of these in [Security caveats](docs/security.md#caveats), including serving your API over HTTPS.

Besides, see [Why and when to use API keys](https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/openapi/when-why-api-key#top_of_page) for hints on whether API keys can fit your use case.

API keys are ideal in the following situations:

- Blocking anonymous traffic.
- Implementing API key-based [throttling](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/throttling/). (Note that Django REST Framework already has may built-in utilities for this use case.)
- Identifying usage patterns by logging request information along with the API key.

They can also present enough security for authorizing internal services, such as your API server and an internal frontend application.

> Please note that this package is NOT meant for authentication. You should NOT use this package to identify individual users, either directly or indirectly.
>
> If you need server-to-server authentication, you may want to consider OAuth instead. Libraries such as [django-oauth-toolkit](https://django-oauth-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) can help.

## Quickstart

Install with `pip`:

```bash
pip install "djangorestframework-api-key==3.*"
```

_**Note**: It is highly recommended to **pin your dependency** to the latest major version (as depicted above), as breaking changes may and will happen between major releases._

Add the app to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:

```python
# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
  # ...
  "rest_framework",
  "rest_framework_api_key",
]
```

Run the included migrations:

```bash
python manage.py migrate
```

To learn how to configure permissions and manage API keys, head to the [Documentation](https://florimondmanca.github.io/djangorestframework-api-key).

# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/). This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## 3.0.0 - 2023-09-30

### Changed

- Use faster SHA512-based key hasher instead of password hashers. Reduces server load by making API key validation orders of magnitude faster (10x to 30x according to estimations, network latency aside). Hashed key will be transparently upgraded the first time `.is_valid()` is called. (Pull #244, Pull #251)

### Removed

- Dropped support for Python 3.7, which has reached EOL. (Pull #247)
- Drop redundant `.has_object_permission()` implementation on `BaseHasAPIKey` when using DRF 3.14.0 or above. (Pull #240)

### Added

- Add official support for Python 3.11. (Pull #247)

## 2.3.0 - 2023-01-19

### Removed

- Drop support for Python 3.6, which has reached EOL. (Pull #210)

### Fixed

- Fix migration 0004 when run against a non default database. (Pull #215)

## 2.2.0 - 2022-03-11

### Added

- Added support for Django config detection for different versions (PR #187)

### Changed

- Add official support for Django 3.2 and Python 3.9 and 3.10 (PR #189)
- Bumped `hashed_key` field's `max_length` from 100 to 150 to address length issue with `argon2-cffi` (PR #193)

## 2.1.0 - 2021-09-24

### Added

- Add support for custom API `keyword`. (Pull #175)

## 2.0.0 - 2020-04-07

**NOTE**: this release drops compatibility with certain Python and Django versions, but contains no other breaking changes. See [Upgrade to 2.0](https://florimondmanca.github.io/djangorestframework-api-key/upgrade/2.0/) for detailed migration steps.

### Removed

- Dropped support for Django 2.0 and Django 2.1. (Pull #126)
- Dropped support for Python 3.5. (Pull #84)

### Added

- Add support for Django 3.0. (Pull #82)
- Add support for Python 3.8. (Pull #81)
- Add `BaseAPIKeyManager.get_from_key()` to allow retrieving API keys from views. (Pull #93)
- Add type annotations, and partial support for `django-stubs` and `djangorestframework-stubs`. (Pull #88, Pull #122)

## 1.4.1 - 2019-08-24

### Added

- Now ships with type annotations ([PEP 561](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0561/)). (Pull #73)

## 1.4.0 - 2019-07-16

**NOTE**: this release contains migrations. See [Upgrade to v1.4](https://florimondmanca.github.io/djangorestframework-api-key/upgrade/1.4/) for detailed instructions.

### Added

- The `prefix` and `hashed_key` are now stored in dedicated fields on the `APIKey` model. (Pull #62)

## 1.3.0 - 2019-06-28

**NOTE**: this release contains migrations. In your Django project, run them using:

```python
python manage.py migrate rest_framework_api_key
```

### Added

- Add abstract API key model (`AbstractAPIKey`) and base manager (`BaseAPIKeyManager`). (Pull #36)
- Add base permissions (`BaseHasAPIKey`). (Pull #46)

### Changed

- The `id` field of `APIKey` is now non-`editable`.
- `APIKeyModelAdmin` does not define `fieldsets` anymore. This allows subclasses to benefit from Django's automatic fieldsets. (Pull #52)

### Fixed

- Explicitly use `utf-8` encoding in `setup.py`, which could previously lead to issues when installing on certain systems. (Pull #58)

## 1.2.1 - 2019-06-03

### Fixed

- Fixed a critical bug in `APIKeyModelAdmin` that prevented `rest_framework_api_key` from passing Django system checks. (Pull #39)

## 1.2.0 - 2019-05-29

**NOTE**: this release contains migrations. In your Django project, run them using:

```python
python manage.py migrate rest_framework_api_key
```

### Added

- API keys can now have an optional `expiry_date`. (Pull #33) `HasAPIKey` denies access if the API key has expired, i.e. if `expiry_date`, if set, is in the past.
- It is now possible to search by `prefix` in the API key admin panel.
- The `prefix` is now displayed in the edit view of the API key admin panel.

## 1.1.0 - 2019-05-14

### Added

- Improve documentation on which password hasher is used.
- Add tests against the Argon2, BcryptSHA256 and PBKDF2SHA1 hashers. (Pull #32)

### Fixed

- Fix support for password hashers that generate hashes that contain dots. (Pull #31)

## 1.0.0 - 2019-04-24

**This release is incompatible with 0.x**. See [Upgrade to 1.0](https://florimondmanca.github.io/djangorestframework-api-key/upgrade/1.4/) for migration steps.

### Removed

- Remove `HasAPIKeyOrIsAuthenticated` permission class. You should use bitwise composition now, e.g. `HasAPIKey | IsAuthenticated`.
- Drop the `DRF_API_KEY_*` settings. (Pull #19)

### Changed

- Switch to a new API key generation and validation scheme. Clients must now authorize using a single API key header (Pull #19). The header is `Authorization` by default. It can be customized using the `API_KEY_CUSTOM_HEADER` setting (Pull #26). Use the `name` field to identify clients.

### Added

- Add support for Django 2.2. (Pull #27)
- Add programmatic API key creation using `APIKey.objects.create_key()`. (Pull #19)

### Fixed

- Improved API key storage using Django's password hashing helpers. (Uses the default Django password hasher.) (Pull #19)

## 0.4.0 - 2019-04-21

### Removed

- Drop support for Python 3.4. Only 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 are supported now.
- Drop support for Django < 2.0. Only 2.0 and 2.1 are supported now.

### Fixed

- `HasAPIKey` now implements `.has_object_permissions()`, which allows to compose it with other permission classes and perform object-level permission checks. (Pull #25)

## 0.3.1 - 2018-11-17

_Initial changelog entry._

### Added

- `APIKey` model.
- `HasAPIKey` and `HasAPIKeyOrIsAuthenticated` permission classes.
