If you trigger an API call with AJAX, the user will never leave the form.

You need to follow the directions supplied by your API documentation. API's require an endpoint. The AJAX you build requires jQuery to monitor your form fields and trigger the call to the API server. The API server is connected through a custom PHP function you need to build. To make the actual callback, you use the WordPres HTTP Curl class. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_http_curl/.
