Saving information from form and making api get request

Question

I'm trying to have a user input info via a form, then make an api get request based on that information (in rails). How should I go about doing this? Specifically what js/ruby methods should I use, should I put the api request in a controller or view? I'm really stuck and would love any direction.

I'm afraid this is not a very good question for Stack Overflow. Perhaps you should try http://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com — Lukasz Muzyka, Oct 21 '16 at 03:18
