Yes, it's possible to write this code without using regexp, and it should work the same.
If you have a look at the source code of the routers, there's a method `get_urls` in SimpleRouter (you can find it here https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/blob/master/rest_framework/routers.py), which, among others, does: regex = route.url.format( prefix=prefix, lookup=lookup, trailing_slash=self.trailing_slash ) where `route.url` is something like url=r'^{prefix}/{lookup}{trailing_slash}$', and `prefix` is the first argument you pass to `router.register` - in your case, an empty string: def register(self, prefix, viewset, basename=None, base_name=None) It does not seem to matter whether you put `prefix=r''` or `prefix=''`, the ultimate url regex looks the same. Disclaimer: I assume you're using the latest version of DRF (3.9.x); I haven checked how the code looks in older versions.
