I have a Django application, which I am using DRF for my API with Session, and Token authentication. I have rest_framework, and rest_framework.authtoken in my installed apps. I have migrated my database and can create tokens for users in the Django Admin. I know all of this is working because I am accessing rest_framework.auth_token's obtain_auth_token view for returning a token when user data is submitted in a POST request, and receive one back. When I try to make a GET request to a view function in my app that has TokenAuthentication on its viewset, it keeps returning.
{"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}

}
url = "http://localhost:8002/api/v1/api-token-auth/"
response = requests.post(url, data=data)
token = json.loads(response.text).get('token')
if token:
token = f"Token {token}"
headers = {"Authentication": token}
response = requests.get("http://localhost:8002/api/v1/model/", headers=headers)
