How to test Django view that have a request to API?

I Have a view post that gets post by its id. In the test, I would like to create a new post and then check via API, if the post is available. The problem that I have is that post is being added to the test database but when executing the GET request it makes a request to the development database.

views.py

def post(request: HttpRequest, id: str):
    context = {"form": PostForm}
    url = env("BASE_URL")
    if id:
        post = requests.get(f"{url}/api/v1/post/{id}").json()
        context["post"] = post
        return render(request, "post.html", context)

test_view.py

class BlogPageTest(TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpTestData(cls):
        cls.user = UserProfile.objects.create(
            name="TestUser", email="test@mail.com", password="pass"
        )

    def test_post_render(self):
        client = APIClient()
        client.force_authenticate(user=self.user)
        post = Post.objects.create(
            title="Test post",
            body="Test post data",
            user=self.user,
        )
        post.save()
        response = client.get(reverse("post", kwargs={"id": str(post.id)}))
