INSTALLED_APPS = {
    ...
    "drf_url_token_auth"
}

2. Modify rest framework settings:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'drf_url_token_auth.authentication.UrlTokenAuthentication',
    )
}

3. Optionally, configure url parameter name (default: token)

    'PARAM_NAME': 'token'
}
