$ cd example
$ python manage.py startapp blog

Create blog app models in blog/models.py

from django.db import models

class Category(models.Model)
	title = models.CharField(  
	  max_length=255  
	)

class Post(models.Model):
	title = models.CharField(  
	  max_length=255  
	)
	summery = models.TextField()
	description = models.TextField()
	category = models.ForeignKey(  
		Category,  
		related_name='products',  
		on_delete=models.CASCADE  
	)

Add your blog app in INSTALLED_APPS in example/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
		# Django default apps...
		'rest_framework',
		'django_restful_admin',

		'blog'
]

Add admin URLs to django URLs in example/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url  
from django.contrib import admin  
from django_restful_admin import admin as api_admin  
from django.urls import path  


urlpatterns = [  
  path('apiadmin/', api_admin.site.urls),  # this line added
  # path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  # your apis custom must be set here  
]

Register your model to restful admin site in blog/admin.py

from django_restful_admin import admin as api_admin  
from blog.models import *    

api_admin.site.register(Post) 
api_admin.site.register(Category) 

Add View and use decorators blog/admin.py

...
@api_admin.register(Category, Product)  
class MyCustomApiAdmin(BaseRestFulModelAdmin):  
    authentication_classes = (CustomTokenAuthentication,)
	permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] 
... 

Read more about authentication and permission DRF Documentation.

Customize serialization

At first, you must define your serializer class Make serializers.py file in blog Open blog/serializers.py and make serializer like this:

from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import *
class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
	class Meta:
		model = Product
		feilds = ('id', 'title')
class CategorySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
	class Meta:
		model = Category
		fields = ('id','title)

class SingleProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
	category = CategorySerializer(read_only=True)
	class Meta:
		model = Product
		feilds = ('id', 'title', 'summery', 'description', 'category')

from .serializers import ProductSerializer, SingleProductSerializer
@api_admin.register(Product)  
class ProductApiAdmin(BaseRestFulModelAdmin):  
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer
    single_serializer_class = SingleProductSerializer

serializer_class use for serialize list of objects but single_serializer_class use for serializer view signle object, update, partial update and create.

Add a custom route with permission

@api_admin.register(Product)  
class MyCustomApiAdmin(BaseRestFulModelAdmin):

	@api_admin.action(permission='product.view_product', detail=True, methods=['GET'], url_path=r'my-custom-action/(?P<another_key>[^/.]+)')  
	def my_custom_action(self, request, pk, another_key):
		pass
		## Do what you want to do
		## this action make url like this /apiadmin/blog/product/2/my-custom-action/XXX

If you want to except permission you just send permission=True, for creating custom permission you can pass closure function or lambda to permission like this permission=lambda: view, action, request, obj=None: True
