If it were me, I might keep two "global" variables (*not* session variables, so stored in the db or in text files), for the timestamps of the last successful transaction with the API, and the last failed transaction with the API. Then you could look at those and decide whether or not to try using the API.

You might also consider some AJAXy voodoo to use the API *before* submitting the whole form...
