How to retrieve an user in my app by the facebook <user_acess_token>? [help wanted] about django-rest-framework-social-oauth2

[PhilipGarnero]

Save your access token somewhere on your client app.
Then, use it to authenticate your requests. The user will automatically be accessible in request.user in your views provided you use the authentication classes.

Feel free to close this when you don't have anymore questions.

Thanks @PhilipGarnero , can you give an example of how can I authenticate my requests (for a example view)? Like a workflow of how I should do it. I am completely new to the django rest framework, also to your package.

[PhilipGarnero]

For your api views (views that you manage with rest framework), you can define authentication classes.
You can either define the default authentication classes in your settings.py or per view.
Simply define these two backends 'oauth2_provider.ext.rest_framework.OAuth2Authentication' 'rest_framework_social_oauth2.authentication.SocialAuthentication' and then you're all set to authenticate your users.

Simply add a Authorization header and set it to Bearer <access_token>. Your user will be available in request.user
