Django Rest Framework Without Database
<p>I'm trying to setup a simple API using Django Rest Framework, the problem is that my API does not have any database but the framework won't work without database setting.</p>

<p>Here is my Django Rest Framework configuration in <code>settings.py</code>:</p>

<pre class="lang-python prettyprint-override"><code>INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'provider',
    'django_nose',
    'rest_framework',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [],
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [],
}
</code></pre>

<p>The error which I got is:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>ImproperlyConfigured("settings.DATABASES is improperly configured.
  "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is
  improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings
  documentation for more details.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is there any minimal settings which does not include <code>django.contrib.contenttypes</code> and <code>django.contrib.auth</code>?</p>
