Hey Swelan, a typical solution for a long running task like transcription is to rename your url to something like '.../transcription-request', the when a user does a POST to that that URL, create a "request" record in the database, and return a 201 with the id of the created request .

Then, in a background task, look for any pending transcription requests and handle them.

The user can then poll '.../transcription-request/[id]' for the status of that transcription request. A GET should return on of the following statuses: "in progress", "failed" or "completed".

For background task processing in Django, use either:

1. a custom Django management command periodically run via cron (simpler but not super robust)
2. A task queue/runner like Celery (https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/django/first-steps-with-django.html) (robust but more complicated)
