  Hi there,

  What exactly are you trying to do? API calls need to be made in the JavaScript or PHP files of a site. We don’t allow adding JavaScript on WordPress.com, and you don’t have access to the PHP files, so there’s no way to add an API call via the post/page editor on your site.

  Contact forms are also a closed system, using a shortcode rather than the HTML form tags, so there is no way to make the contact form behave differently that it is programmed.
