I have been using django-rest-framework for creating services that work with the models. Now I need to create a service that receives some data, evaluates it and sends a notification email. It has been difficult to find such use case in django-rest-framework documentation and I think Function based views(at http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/views#function-based-views) would be the best approach but not sure if it is. There is very few documentation of it around. Which would be the best way to implement such service?

Just to clarify: your function will be receiving data from an external API? Will it be initiated by some sort of request by a user or more of an automated background task?

The function I want to publish as a service will be receiving data from an angularJS application and process it in order to send a notification.

The default DRF APIView knows nothing about models, as ViewSet and GenericViewSet.
The DRF function based views are only syntactic sugar on the default APIView.
The one you should use depends on your functionality, perhaps have a look at the docs for clarity.
