API User Token
The “User Token” endpoint allows a user to create a REST token by POSTing username and password. However, we recommend you use the WebUI to create your tokens.
http --form POST http://<your-domain>/api/users/token/ username=<username> password=<password>
Output
The output will look something like below. Since this endpoint is actually implemented by the Django Rest Framework, this may change!
