What are Callback URLs and how do I set them up

I am working with an API from SignalHire. The API docs reference a callback URL but I don't have a very technical background and am not sure how to set this up. I've done some digging but I am still very confused and not sure how to proceed. Here is my code:

API_KEY = 'testapikey'
headers = {'apikey': API_KEY,
           'callbackUrl': ''}

data = {'items': ['https://www.linkedin.com/in/testprofile/']}
response = requests.post("https://www.signalhire.com/api/v1/candidate/search", headers=headers, json=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print(json.dumps(response.json(), sort_keys=True, indent=4))

I just need help understanding what a callback url is and how I can set that up.

When you post the search request, you won't get back results immediately. Instead, you'll get a 201 response that lets you know that SignalHire has received your request.

When the results are ready, they will be posted to the the URL you provide. It should be an endpoint that you write that sends a 200 response back to SignalHire acknowledging that it has received the search results.
