GET/POST Requst to REST API using Spring Boot

Question

I have a REST Service an external server like https://api.myrestservice.com and I have a Spring Boot Application running locally on http://localhost:8080<

Answer 1

I hope I got your question right. You are trying get your local app to get data from app running on your server.

You can use the below sample code in your spring boot application.

private void getUsers() {

     final String uri = "https://api.myrestservice.com/users";
     RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
     Users result = restTemplate.getForObject(uri, Users.class);      
     System.out.println(result); 
}

Then your getUsers can be invoked by getUsers Controller in your spring boot app.
