How to use external API to match data entered?

I'm building a form for allowing college students to register. I want them to enter their college name, and then check if that college actually exists, and then allow them to select from the list of colleges matching that name. Can it be done?

Hi @uGOD Happy Monday! :grin: The best way to set this up would be to add the list of schools to a dropdown question in the form. You can build the dropdown within the form builder or through the Create API. We don’t have a way to reference an external list, but would building a dropdown work for you?
