Django REST Token Expiry is a Python package designed to add token expiration functionality to Django REST Framework's default token authentication system. This package allows developers to set expiry durations for authentication tokens, enhancing security by automatically invalidating tokens after a specified period. Installation

You can install Django REST Token Expiry via pip:

pip install django-rest-token-expiry

Usage

Define AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_EXPIRY in your settings.py with the desired time delta value for token expiration:

from datetime import timedelta

AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_EXPIRY = timedelta(days=7)  # Example: Token expires in 7 days

Update the DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES setting in your REST_FRAMEWORK settings to include ExpiringTokenAuthentication:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'django_rest_token_expiry.authentication.ExpiringTokenAuthentication' # ... other authentication classes
    ]
}

Now, the authentication tokens generated by Django REST Framework will have expiration based on the duration specified in AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_EXPIRY. Contributing
