Detect when a unique url is accessed for the first time

For example say I have a website called website.com. When the url website.com/stackoverflow is accessed for the first time, I want to store the value stackoverflow in my database. Is this possible, and how would I do it?

use get_or_create and I assume you have defined model for Website

urls

url(r'^(?P<url_path>\w+)/$', views.home, name='detail'),

views

def home(request, url_path):
    obj, created = Website.objects.get_or_create(path=url_path)
    if created:
        # Do something with created object
