How to resend the same request again in Django api - django

Question

I have a BuyproducTviewset using createModelMixin that create an instance when post request is made however I want to repeat the same create request again after 5 seconds from the api depending on a condition if the price is greater than a specific range.
class BuyProductViewset(viewsets.GenericViewSet, mixins.CreateModelMixin):
serializer_class = UserproductSerializer
queryset = Userproducts.objects.all()
def data_serialize(self, user_id, product_ID):
data = {"user": user_id, "product": product_ID}
serializer = self.get_serializer(data=data)
serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
self.perform_create(serializer)
headers = self.get_success_headers(serializer.data)
return serializer, headers
def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
user_id = request.data["user_id"]
product_id = request.data["product_id"]
total = request.data["total"]
upper_bound = request.data["upper_bound"]
lower_bound = request.data["lower_bound"]
product = (
product.objects.filter(product_id=product_id)
.order_by("timestamp")
.reverse()[:1]
.values("id", "name", "price", "availability")
.get()
)
product_ID = product["id"]
product_price = product["price"]
product_availability = product["availability"]
product_name = product["name"]
if product_price >= int(lower_bound) and product_price <= int(upper_bound):
serializer, headers = self.data_serialize(user_id,
product_ID)
product.objects.create(
product_id=product_ID,
name=product_name,
price=product_price,
availability=product_availability - int(total),
)
return Response(
serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED,
headers=headers
)
else:
time.sleep(5)
# RESEND THE SAME REQUEST WITH THE SAME DATA
return a response

Answer 1

if you resend the same request, it can be a cause for infinity loop.
But you can do it:
def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
...
else:
time.sleep(5)
# RESEND THE SAME REQUEST WITH THE SAME DATA
# here should be a reason to stop the resend process
return self.create(request, *args, **kwargs)
Don't forget. This code is synchronous. time.sleep(5) blocks other processes for 5sec.
