How to I DRF render_ads_zone instead of traditional Django way?

[AfolabiOlaoluwa]

How do I get this logic available to DRF instead of the tradition django way?

def render_ads_zone(context, zone):

    # Retrieve random ad for the zone based on weight
    ad = Ad.objects.random_ad(zone)

    if ad is not None:
        request = context['request']
        if request.session.session_key:
            impression, created = Impression.objects.get_or_create(
                ad=ad,
                session_id=request.session.session_key,
                defaults={
                    'impression_date': timezone.now(),
                    'source_ip': get_client_ip(request),
                })
    context.update({
        'ad': ad,
        'google_adsense_client': settings.ADS_GOOGLE_ADSENSE_CLIENT,
        'zone': settings.ADS_ZONES.get(zone, None)
    })
    return context

Its not an issue per say, but using Django Rest Framework for this app, I couldn't just serialize this logic in my views.py so that my urls.py can calls this render_ads_zone logic in views.py

@ataylor32 @razisayyed ?

Why can't you call this function from the API view ?

Yeah @vinyasmusic, I would also just create a seperate endpoint for this logic and then call it on my client (app or website) whenever I need.
