Hello,
I am trying to input something into 2 textboxes, click submit and send a POST request using that information and have the information retrieved from the server put into a small text box. To give a little background, this api is supposed to call from a criminal records system and bring back the information into the site, the textboxes would be the first name and last nameAny help is appreciated. Here is what I was provided from the API. I am open to any suggestions on how I could do this.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
