How to create a POST endpoint in Django with Tastypie

I'm learning Django and I watched and finished a tutorial (Mosh Hamedani and I purchased his videos) that created a database API GET method.

I was curios how can I create a POST endpoint to add some new data.

In the tutorial, he used tastypie module, if matters.

In the tastypie's documents, I see it says how to add authorization, but it does not say anything about the POST.

Please help me what's needed to add to and edit the question.

This is api/models.py:

from django.db import models
from tastypie.resources import ModelResource
from movies.models import Movie

class MovieResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        queryset = Movie.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'movies'
        excludes = ['date_created']

This is also movies/models:

from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone

class Genre(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='Comedy')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

class Movie(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='Bararreh')
    release_year = models.IntegerField(default=2008)
    number_in_stock = models.IntegerField(default=100)
    daily_rate = models.IntegerField(default=150000)
    genre = models.ForeignKey(Genre, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default='Comedy')
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

These are the fields I have in the admin area to create a new movie.

The main urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from api_v1.models import MovieResource
from . import views

movie_resource = MovieResource()
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('movies/', include('movies.urls')),
    path('api/v1/', include(movie_resource.urls)),
]
