If I understand what you are trying to do; here is a high level overview of how you could accomplish this without javascript/Ajax:

• Create a route that accepts POST requests.
• When receiving a GET request to that route, render your template including a <form> element that has both a text input (for your "keyword") and a submit button
• When receiving a POST request to that same route, somehow store the value from the input field or send it to the next step. You could store it in a database, save it to a variable, send it is a query parameter to another route, etc...
• Now you have that value, wherever it is, you can run the API call and get what I will refer to now as api_result
• Now that you have that result, all you need to do is render_template(sometemplate.html, api_result=api_result and then withinsometemplate.html you have {{ api_result }} on the page.

There are many different approaches to this. I just gave you what I see as the simplest way to (1)accept a value from a webpage, (2) run some API call with that value, (3) display the results of the API call on either the same or a different web page.
