python-social-auth generate 'connect with' link as string

I'm using social-auth-app-django to support logins with social apps. This code is on a angular-djangorest app, so basically the django doesn't serve the html pages.

Now from the docs, I can see that if I did serve the html pages, I would simply add the following line to generate the 'connect with' link:

 <a href="{% url 'social:begin' 'instagram' %}">Login with Instagram</a>

but since I don't serve the html myself, I need to supply the angular app the string generated between the {% %} myself.

For example

def connect_with_instagram(request):
    .
    .
    return HttpResponseRedirect(<the 'connect with' string>)

So how can I generate this string?

{% url 'social:begin' 'instagram' %}

in normal django python code would be:

from django.urls import reverse
reverse('social:begin', args=['instagram'])

ending up like this:

from django.urls import reverse

def connect_with_instagram(request):
    .
    .
    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('social:begin', args=['instagram']))
