Oscar API Settings

Main settings

OSCARAPI_BLOCK_ADMIN_API_ACCESS

OSCARAPI_EXPOSE_USER_DETAILS

The Login view (GET) and the owner field in the BasketSerializer and CheckoutSerializer expose user details, like username and email address. With this setting you can enable/disable this behaviour.

OSCARAPI_ENABLE_REGISTRATION

Serializer settings

Most of the model serializers in Oscar API have a default set of fields to use in the REST API. If you customized the Oscar models you can reflect this customization by adding settings for this serializer.

For example, the RecommendedProduct serializer is defined as following:

class RecommmendedProductSerializer(OscarModelSerializer):
    url = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField(view_name='product-detail')

    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = overridable(
            'OSCARAPI_RECOMMENDED_PRODUCT_FIELDS',
            default=('url',)
        )

When you add the following section to your settings.py you will add the ‘title’ field as well:

OSCARAPI_RECOMMENDED_PRODUCT_FIELDS = ('url', 'title')

The following serializers have customizable field settings:

Basket serializers

class oscarapi.serializers.basket.VoucherSerializer(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Checkout serializers

class oscarapi.serializers.checkout.OrderSerializer(*args, **kwargs)[source]
