Django: Fetching data from an open source API - json

Question

I am trying to fetch public holiday data for France, Australia and Germany from https://date.nager.at/ with the documentation at https://date.nager.at/swagger/index.html and store it in a JSON file.
Until now, I have created an endpoint /fetch_and_save with its own URL, but only managed to write dummy data in the views.py file. How do I fetch the data above and store it in a database through Django?
Edit: I have been asked to show the code.
I ran
python3 manage.py startapp fetch_and_save
to create the fetching application, and I have the following URL patterns in storefront/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('fetch_and_save/', include('fetch_and_save.urls')),
]
then I added function in fetch_and_save/views.py:
def say_hello(request):
return HttpResponse('Fetch the data from date.nager.at here')
and I called that in fetch_and_save/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.say_hello)
]
That's it. It's just a hello world app.

Here you have some clues, how to do that in simple way:
fetch_and_save/views.py
import json
import requests
def get_public_holidays(request, year, tag):
response = requests.get(f'https://date.nager.at/api/v2/PublicHolidays/{year}/{tag}')
with open(f'public_holidays_{tag}_{year}.json', 'w') as outfile:
json.dump(response.text, outfile)
...
fetch_and_save/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('<int:year>/<str:tag>/', views.get_public_holidays)
]
Then if you add i.e. /2020/DE you will fetch the public holidays 2020 of Germany and save it to the json file with a name public_holidays_DE_2020.json.
