Django code is just normal Python. Python can call REST APIs, sure (a nice library is Requests: docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ )
Doing this in the view means that the user has to wait until the request ends before he gets a response. Possibly this will make the view too slow. You could also do the API requests in the background using Celery, and show the results some other way.
