if you need to get user information on a webpage, you need to pass user information in a response of Login API or other API.

While using Token based authentication, after login, access token and refresh token are generated which are shall be given to client in login API response. This access token shall be passed in header as:

Authorization : Bearer 

You need to put authentication_classes = [OAuth2Authentication] in your view.

This will validate the if user is logged in also you will get to access logged in user's information by user=request.user.
