Key authentication for django. Can be used with django-piston easily.

Based on https://github.com/scoursen/django-apikey.

)

You can change the authorization header by setting the APIKEY_AUTHORIZATION_HEADER in settings.py:

To add api authentication with piston do thisin your handlers.

from apikey.auth import ApiKeyAuthentication
from piston.handler import BaseHandler
from piston.resource import Resource
from myapp.models import Item

class ItemHandler(BaseHandler):
    allowed = ('GET', )
    model = Item

    def read(self):
        return Item.objects.all()

handler = Resource(
    handler=ItemHandler, authentication=ApiKeyAuthentication())

This project is base on the one of Steve Course https://github.com/scoursen/django-apikey but with several simplifications.
