Wordpress PHP - 如何使用AJAX API数据更新分类法？

I have added a button on a custom post type Add New page to get some API data when clicked.

When the data is returned, I would like to update field Taxonomy within the custom post type. Is there a way that I can update the fields with AJAX/jQuery?

I have tried this by finding the field in jQuery and use val() to be able to update it, however this has not worked.

 $.post(
     ajaxurl,
     {
       action: 'get_vehicle_data',
       nonce: nonce
     },
     function( response ){
       if ( 'OK' == response ) {
          $('#acf-field_588f336aabaa6-input').val('2012');
     }
      else {
       alert( 'Something went wrong, try again' );
     }
  }
);

I would like to update taxonomy fields with the data that comes back from the API.
