Customizing Api-Key name (documentation incorrect) about djangorestframework-api-key HOT 1 OPEN

Hey,

That's right, the code example in the docs is a little lacking.

This code definitely shouldn't be in settings.py.

The import change is correct.

What you should do is declare these classes in a permissions.py file of yours inside an app folder (eg an accounts app of that's what you have), and then use that HasAPIKey class of yours in the rest of your code.

Another semi-hacky way is to import KeyParser somewhere (settings.py might work) and set its keyword class attribute.

KeyParser.keyword = "API-KEY"

I reckon this task could be easier if we had a setting similar to API_KEY_CUSTOM_HEADER, but for the keyword.

Hope this helps!

If you're up to help fixing the docs in a way that works for you, that would be much appreciated.
