API Endpoints

• admin/: The default Django admin site. Used to manage the site's backend.
• api/v1/: The base URL for all API endpoints.
• token/: Endpoint for obtaining an access and refresh token. Used to authenticate and authorize API requests. To test, make a POST request to this endpoint with a valid username and password in the request body. The response should include a JSON object containing the access and refresh tokens.
• token/refresh/: Endpoint for refreshing an access token. Used to extend the lifetime of an access token. To test, make a POST request to this endpoint with a valid refresh token in the request body. The response should include a JSON object containing a new access token.
• api/v1/users/: Endpoint for listing all registered users. To test, make a GET request to this endpoint with a valid access token in the Authorization header. The response should include a JSON object containing a list of user objects.
• api/v1/blogs/: Endpoint for viewing all blogs. To test, make a GET request to this endpoint with a valid access token in the Authorization header. The response should include a JSON object containing a list of blog objects.

Please refer to the source code and documentation within each app for detailed information about the available API endpoints and their usage.
