Django REST Framework ViewSet Authentication Token issue

I have a small API in my Django project, I've been following tutorials for authentication tokens. I'm able to generate and store tokens, but whenever I do a cURL request to the API, with the token, it always returns unauthenticated, even though the token is correct. The endpoint worked before I applied the token authentication. Any help would be great, code is below:

api/views.py

from rest_framework import viewsets
from .serializers import PlatformSerializer
from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from userplatforms.models import Platform

class PlatformViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
   authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication]
   permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
   serializer_class = PlatformSerializer
   queryset = Platform.objects.all().order_by('user_id')

api/urls.py

from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework import routers
from rest_framework.authtoken import views as auth_views
from . import views

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'userplatforms', views.PlatformViewSet)

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include(router.urls)),
    path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
    path('authtoken/', auth_views.obtain_auth_token, name='tokenauth')
]

api/serializers.py

from rest_framework import serializers
from userplatforms.models import Platform

class PlatformSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Platform
        fields = ('id', 'user_id', 'platform_reference', 'platform_variables')

settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    )
}

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'api.apps.ApiConfig',
    'userplatforms.apps.UserplatformsConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django_extensions',
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework.authtoken'
]
