python - django background tasks in views -

i have django view displays info associated model , grabs info web app via rest api.

to this, @ moment overriding get_context_data function so:

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):     context = super(listprojectsview, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)     context['issues'] = phab.get_recent_issues() # call phabricator api recent issues 

this causes page take 5-10s load, unacceptable.

is there way can display page while calling external api in background , updating view when data available??

even better, there way can poll external api @ regular interval , automatically update page? dont need rely on user refreshing page latest data...
