To make it more flexible, you can design a FilterBackend as below:

class AnalyticsFilterBackend(generic_filters.BaseFilterBackend):
    def filter_queryset(self, request, queryset, view):
        predicate = request.query_params # or request.data for POST

        if predicate.get('from_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('to_date', None) is not None:
            queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__range=(predicate['from_date'], predicate['to_date']))

        if predicate.get('from_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('to_date', None) is None:
            queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__gte=predicate['from_date'])

        if predicate.get('to_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('from_date', None) is None:
            queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__lte=predicate['to_date'])
        return queryset
