[Fixed]-Not able to authenticate using the django rest framework (request.user = AnonymousUser)

It looks like you have a regular Django view, so none of the rest framework authentication code will run.

def uuid_details(request, uuid):

You could use the api_view decorator to turn this into a rest framework view.

from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view

@api_view(['GET'])
def uuid_details(request, uuid):
    return Response({"message": "user: " + str(request.user)}

Two things:

  1. @csrf_exempt doesn’t work on DRF views. It’s for raw Django ones.
  2. You didn’t use the DRF decorator for function views

It should work once those two points are fixed.
