1. A method for graphically configuring at least one application program interface (API) on form field to retrieve desired output from user interface (UI) by an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
displaying, by the electronic device, the UI comprising a plurality of form fields to enable a user to configure the at least one API on the plurality of form fields at the UI, the plurality of form fields being fields through which information is respectively provided as attributes on a form;
configuring, by the electronic device, the at least one API to at least one form field of the plurality of form fields by inputting a plurality of building blocks using a graphical configuration field, wherein the at least one API being executable according to the configuring to automatically fetch and input a second attribute to a dependent form field based on a user inputted first attribute to the form field;
mapping, by the electronic device, the at least one form field to at least one dependent form field of plurality of dependent form fields based on the configured at least one API;
receiving, by the electronic device, a user input of the first attribute in the at least one form field;
determining, by the electronic device, the second attribute corresponding to the at least one dependent form field of the plurality of dependent form fields by applying the at least one API configured to the at least one form field based on the user inputted first attribute received in the at least one form field;
automatically filling, by the electronic device, the at least one dependent form field based on the determined second attribute corresponding to the at least one dependent form field; and
displaying, by the electronic device, the at least one filled dependent form field,
wherein configuring, by the electronic device, the at least one API to the at least one form field of the plurality of form fields by inputting the plurality of building blocks using the graphical configuration field comprises:
enabling, by the electronic device, an API configuration option of the at least one form field to which the at least one API is configured;
receiving, by the electronic device, user inputs of the plurality of building blocks associated with the at least one API to be configured to the at least one form field;
creating, by the electronic device, the at least one API based on the plurality of building blocks associated with the at least one API; and
configuring, by the electronic device, the at least one created API to the at least one form field of the plurality of form fields.
