. You should get "Successfully registered" response with 201 status code. - Make a POST call to
/api/sign-in
with 2 form-data body objects:username
(which is your email Id you used for sign up),password
. You will get a token in JSON response, store it somewhere. - For making any subsequent request, use the above token by sending it as an "Authorization HTTP Header", eg:
Authorization: Token <your token>
