Let's directly jump into the steps without wasting any time.

• Open your root urls.py and paste this code at the end of your urls.py file -

from rest_framework.documentation import include_docs_urls

urlpatterns.extend([
    # For autogenerated API documentation
    path(
        "api/docs/",
        include_docs_urls(title="DevJunction API Docs"),
        name='drf-doc'
    ),
])

• Next step is to allow Django Rest Framework to use Open API schema generator for all the Rest API created using DRF generics views, viewsets or view classes -

  Add this at the end of your settings.py file -

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_SCHEMA_CLASS': 'rest_framework.schemas.coreapi.AutoSchema',
}

• One final step is to install a pip package in your project's virtual environment -

pip install coreapi

• Yuhuuu! You did it, just run your project in local and open your browser and go this location to see the auto generated API docs - http://localhost:8000/api/docs
