How to process React requests with Django or create a WebHook like?

Question

Django

Hello everyone, I wondered if it was possible to build a thing similar to WebHook? So that the server itself sends some kind of request, saying that the data has been updated and can be received from the front?
At the moment, requests are coming from the front along the interval. The application is powered by ReactJS + Django REST.

How often do you need to monitor messages from the server? If once every couple of seconds, I would just send requests, as you have now. If you need to keep an open channel and constantly receive changes, use websocket
