csrf token exempt django

The csrf_exempt decorator in Django is used to exempt a particular view from the CSRF verification process. CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection is a security measure in web applications that prevents unauthorized requests from being executed on behalf of a user.

To exempt a Django view from CSRF protection, follow these steps:

  1. Import csrf_exempt: Import the csrf_exempt decorator from django.views.decorators.csrf.

python from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

  1. Apply csrf_exempt decorator: Add the csrf_exempt decorator to the view function you want to exempt from CSRF protection.

```python from django.http import HttpResponse from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

@csrf_exempt def my_view(request): # Your view logic here return HttpResponse('This view is exempt from CSRF protection.') ```

In this example, the my_view function is exempted from CSRF protection using @csrf_exempt.

  1. Caution: Exempting a view from CSRF protection should be done carefully and only for views that are safe from CSRF attacks. Ensure that the view exempted does not perform actions that could be exploited if requested by an unauthorized source.

Remember that exempting a view from CSRF protection means that requests to this view won't be required to include a CSRF token, which could pose security risks if not handled properly.
