Bearer token standard

client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='Token ' + token.key)

I noticed that we're using Token <api_token> format here but wouldn't the standard for this be Bearer <api_token> or is this working as designed?

in postman we would generally pass a header like --header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234abcd'

I believe Bearer is intended for use as a part of the OAuth Bearer token standard, of which the built-in DRF Token is not. We are allowed to make use of the authorization scheme of our choice and as such we picked Token.
