You can use viewsets instead of apiview for this purpose.

Here's an example.

from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework.decorators import detail_route
from rest_framework.response import Response

class MyViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet):

    @detail_route(methods=['get'])
    def some_get_method(self, request, pk=None):
        return Response({'data': 'response_data'})

In order to use it, your URL will be like, http://base_url/< pk >/some_get_method

or you can override dispatch method inside of APIView to do so,

def MyAPIView(APIView):
    def some_get_method(self, request):
        return Response({'data': 'response_data'})

    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.method.lower() == "get" and request.GET.get('identifier'):
            return self.some_get_method(request)
        return super().dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
