Using remote JSON data to populate ACF field

So I have a text input box, where a user can paste a URL.

Using the dynamic.ooo plugin, I can retrieve a JSON of the OG metadata for that page (which is what I’m aiming to do).

But I have no idea how to get the data from that page and into an ACF field, because the data taken from the JSON doesn’t look like it gets saved anywhere in the database.

Here’s an example of what I’ve got so far:

So, is there a way to retrieve remote JSON data, and then populate ACF fields with it?
