Django: constant 3rd party api data stream into frontend?

I'm building an application on react/django that requires me to have a live stream of real time weather information presented to a user. Currently my app gets a snapshot of information whenever a user loads the page via axios request to my django backend that makes an api call and return the weather back at that given time. Only when a user reloads the page can I get new weather information.



I've done some reading and it seems that I might want to look into django channels. Is this a proper/standard flow for apps streaming information live from 3rd party sources? I imagine having a websocket connection between react and django, and django having some logic for an api call every set interval - returning that data back to react.



If so, where in my django-channels consumer would I have this interval logic? And what is the best way to run an api call every (1 second) in django? Would it be in my Consumer's connect definition? Ideally I'd only like the user to have to send one automatic request on page load that begins the socket connection and have weather information streamed back based on what locations the user has already listed on the front-end. (can have multiple locations meaning different api calls all intended to project onto my react front-end).



Any advice, direction would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks
