Consuming External API Using Django Generic CBVs

If I want to consume an external API within a generic class based view in Django, can I add a method to the generic view including a get request? I need to pass parameters from the data model in the request payload in order to illicit a response, and I fundamentally do not understand how to do this. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or something to help me out, as I have done hours of searching and I cannot find anything that is within an existing CBV.

Thanks!
