Django Rest Framework - Best way to add authentication

Question

I have two separate django websites, let's call them A and B. regular users sign up in website B, and administrators use website A. website A sends some info to website B using django rest framework (in the A side, it's just a simple post request, api is implemented in website B)

so website B users have nothing to do with the api, and admins who send the info to B, are NOT users of website B.

what do you think is the best way to add authentication to this api? so that regular users cannot send garbage requests?

We have a similar set up. On your set up, I'd create a dedicated user on website B with a token for authentication. Then use the token to send the data you need from website A.

Make sure the endpoints only allow Token auth, and any other types you may need.
