.validate_and_insert returns a response object with an .id attribute and an
.errors attribute. If the insert is successful, response.id has the id of
the inserted records, and if there are any validation errors,
response.errors is a dictionary of field names and error messages. You can
have your function conditionally return the new record ID (or some success
message) or a string summary of the errors. Then just check the content of
that return value from the client where you are making the API requests.
