Django api/signup not found - django

Question

Created a user registration form for my React Django app and keep getting an error even before doing anything on the form. It keeps saying api/signup 404 (Not Found).
I have added all necessary apps to my installed apps in settings. I have also added all necessary urls as well. For reference here are my urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls')),
path('rest-auth/', include('rest_auth.urls')),
path('rest-auth/registration/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('api/', include('articles.api.urls')),
re_path('.*', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'))
]
And my settings:
import os
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

After clicking signup:
xhr.js:178 POST https://djangoandreact.herokuapp.com/rest-auth/registration 403 (Forbidden)
djangoandreact.herokuapp.com if you wanna check it out
This will work if I do it directly at https://djangoandreact.herokuapp.com/rest-auth/registration/

Answer 1

Try changing the order of authentication classes:
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
# 'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny'
'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication'
)
}
