1217094 - Switch the API to use DRF instead of Piston

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: API, defect)

Description

[Mathieu Agopian [:magopian]]

Following bug 1210423 investigation, we'd like to switch the API from using Piston to using DRF. The waffle switch to enable is "drf": https://addons-dev.allizom.org/fr/admin/models/waffle/switch/31/

The plan is to:
1/ enable this switch on addons-dev
2/ make sure the discovery pages and about:addons in general behaves correctly
3/ make a few GET/POST/PUT/DELETE to the /en-us/firefox/api/2/ APIs

Dear QA team, 1/ and 2/ above are for you. 3/ is up to us to validate, unless you know how to auth with the API and then use curl or an equivalent to POST/PUT/DELETE.

part 3/ takes its URLs here: https://github.com/mozilla/olympia/blob/master/apps/api/urls.py#L115-L132
They're handled by the handlers in https://github.com/mozilla/olympia/blob/master/apps/api/handlers.py

The waffle switch has been turned on for -dev

We already removed django-piston and left the original API untouched while developing the new API since it's mostly independend code. Closing as wontfix.
