Login and Tokens
To get a token first we have to login

after that, we get the token
{
"key": "2d500db1e51153318e300860064e52c061e72016"
}
ALL request must be authenticated with a valid token, otherwise they will be invalid
We can create new users. (password1 and password2 must be equal)
http POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/registration/ username="USERNAME" password1="PASSWORD" password2="PASSWORD"
And we can logout, the token must be your actual token
http POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/rest-auth/logout/ "Authorization: Token <YOUR_TOKEN>"
