Can you recommend an HTML/JS/Bootstrap/JQuery Drop Down Select Menu with Autocomplete that accepts the complete list of options from a single remote REST api request as JSON and does not do remote calls when typing.

Do you have control of the server side? – Mawg says reinstate Monica Feb 27 '18 at 11:54
Perform your REST request first, and parse your JSON with JQuery to populate your <select> field.
Finally use any library like chosen to enhanced your field with autocomplete.
Warning: Initialize the plugin ( $(".chosen-select").chosen()) only after having populated it.
This will give exactly the behaviour you want.
