django-apitokens

Generate tokens compatible with Django Restframework (drf) from your Django Admin view:

• Create new tokens at will (after being generated, they no longer can be reversed, since only a digest is stored in the database).
• Add expirity dates (supports time and date)
• Remove tokens when you no longer need them.
