django JWT asking for username/password

Question

I can successfully connect via CURL using the example posted in their documentation here:

http://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/#usage

The problem comes from trying to use Postman. I set the authorization to Basic and put in my username/password and I get a 400 response with the following json:

{
  "username": [
    "This field is required."
  ],
  "password": [
    "This field is required."
  ]
}

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious.

Instead of passing the username and password as part of the header send it as data in the body instead. Here's an example of doing this with jQuery: http://jpadilla.com/post/73791304724/auth-with-json-web-tokens

Taking from the example the data you pass in the body should look like this: { username: "admin", password: "abc123"}
