Passing and using a value from another method

In my view.py;

def get_social_data(request):
    author_name = request.GET.get('author')
    // To do something
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(result), content_type='application/json')

In the same view.py but in different function, I need to use author_name. If I again write "author_name = request.GET.get('author')", it returns "NONE".

def profile_export(request, slug):
     author_name = request.GET.get('author') // Now NONE.

Can you help me how to pass the value to profile_export() from get_social_data(). Or is there any other way to get author_name?

Thank you.

If is the same author you can save it in a django session in the first function and then use it from the session in the second function.

def get_social_data(request):
    author_name = request.GET.get('author')
    session['author_name'] = author_name
    .....

And in the second function;

def profile_export(request, slug):
    author_name = session['author_name']
