Testing the API

The API can be tested by running the Django server locally, going to the following url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/, clicking the "Try it out" button after selecting the endpoint and finally executing it along with the Response Body (if required).

For testing the endpoints which require Token in the Authorization header, you can click on the "Authorize" button, write the Authorization token as Token <token> (which you have obtained from the auth/login/ endpoint) and finally click on "Authorize". Thereafter, all the requests made to any endpoint will have the Token in the Authorization Header.
