Hi

My requirement is

1)User adds postcode to form
2)I call external api with postcode to get details of the
postcode,local authority,MP etc
3) save this data into another model

My question is what is the correct pattern for doing this? Where
should I call the api?
Should this be done before the user form is saved(is_valid)?

What if the api goes down? How to handle that gracefully?

Thank you
Chris
