Incorrect Answers
The described situation is better addressed by Check response status and handle retryable errors with bounded backoff before persisting success. Transport-level failures should not be treated as confirmed business outcomes.
The described situation is better addressed by Parse and validate the API response then map supported fields to the target record. Validated payload mapping translates an external response into the application's data model.
The described situation is better addressed by Implement a properly authenticated Scripted REST API with validated inputs and ACL-aware writes. A Scripted REST resource can expose controlled server behavior to authorized external clients.
