BookDataAPI 📚

This is a Django-based RESTful API for managing books, reviews, and genres. The API allows authenticated users to view and create reviews, search for books, and admins to manage books and genres. The API is secured with JWT authentication and supports rate-limiting for both anonymous and authenticated users.

Features View and Search Books: Anyone can view the list of books and search by title, author, or genre.

Book Reviews: Authenticated users can post reviews, and all users can view reviews for any book.

Admin Permissions: Only admin users can create, update, or delete books and genres.

Rate Limiting: Custom rate limiting for both anonymous and authenticated users to prevent abuse.

JWT Authentication: Secured endpoints using JWT tokens.

Pagination: Paged results for books.
