Authentication¶
If your framework has the concept of a logged-in user (like Django), you can do something like:
class MyResource(DjangoResource):
def is_authenticated(self):
return self.request.user.is_authenticated()
If you need a more fine graned authentication you could check your current endpoint and do something like that:
class MyResource(DjangoResource):
def is_authenticated(self):
if self.endpoint in ('update', 'create'):
return self.request.user.is_authenticated()
else:
return True
