Api Router is a built-in tool in DRF that generates an API interface in the web browser. This allows you to easily test and debug your DRF API endpoints without the need to write JavaScript code.

How to use Api Router ?

Start the Django server with your DRF project;
Navigate to the URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser;
You will see a list of all API endpoints defined in your DRF project;
You can click on an API endpoint to view its details, including the URL, HTTP methods, and expected request and response data;
You can use Api Router to send requests to your DRF API endpoints and view the response.

Advantages of using Api Router

Api Router does not require knowledge of JavaScript to test DRF APIs;
Api Router generates a clear and understandable interface for your API endpoints;
You can use Api Router to send requests to your DRF API endpoints and view responses in real-time;
Api Router can help you debug issues with your DRF API endpoints.
