This is how I used to do with Flask, I went through Django documentation and tried to override the create method.

class ItemViewSet(viewset.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Item.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ItemSerializer
    
    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        data = request.data
        for item in data:
           record = Item(name=item.name)
           record.save()
        return Response(status=200)
