Is it possible to intercept REST API requests made through the Debug Toolbar in Django Rest Framework?

The Django Rest Framework (DRF) Debug Toolbar allows you to track requests, including REST API requests, but it does not intercept requests in the traditional sense (for example, it does not modify or block them). It displays information about completed requests to the server, including headers, parameters, request body, and execution time.

If you want to specifically intercept and modify REST API requests, the Debug Toolbar is not designed for that. For such tasks, it is better to use middleware or custom request handlers.

Example of using the Debug Toolbar to view requests:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'debug_toolbar',
    ...
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
    ...
]

INTERNAL_IPS = ['127.0.0.1']

After that, you will be able to see information about REST API requests in the Debug Toolbar panel, but you cannot modify them.
