Django Set Session Variable - django

Question

Hello awesome developers!
I got stack with session variables.
At the moment I have two functions. In the first one I am trying to set session var, it looks like that everything works fine, but in the second I am trying to access this var and I am getting None. Does any one have an idea why is it so?..
Views.py
#api_view(['POST'])
def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
response = requests.post(CORE_ADDRESS + 'login/', json=request.data)
if response.status_code == 200:
response = response.json()
request.session["authentication_token"] = response.get('authentication_token')
request.session["session_user_id"] = response.get('id')
print('token -> ', request.session["authentication_token"])
#token prints fine here
return Response(response)
#api_view(['GET'])
def session_user(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
print(request.session.get('authentication_token'))
#and here it prints None

By the way, these functions are called from Angular frontend.
Thanks in advance!
