 * Hello, what would be the easiest way to update the price of a WPForms item by
   accessing an external API? Say I have a GET endpoint at [https://example.com/my_val](https://example.com/my_val)
   and this returns a dictionary {“new_price”: 10}, how could I have my server poll
   this so that I can use the value in the advanced calculations feature?
