Rest API integration using Apache camel - apache-camel

Question

I am new to Apache Camel, I have requirement to integrate two systems using REST API using Apache camel. I will receive a JSON message on my apache camel rest api endpoint(from source system).This json will contain arrays, I have to extract each array content and post to another external api end point (target). So initially I tried to send incoming message to camel rest api as it is to the target external api endpoint. When I try that, then on application startup I get error. I searched for similar exception but couldn't find anything concrete as in most of the example, source of message was used as a timer component.
Can't we make a call to external rest api end point?
Camel version : 3.4.0
Spring boot : 2.3.1
My router builder code
restConfiguration()
.component("servlet").port(9090).host("localhost")
.dataFormatProperty("prettyPrint", "true");
rest().post("/incoming")
.consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.route()
.to("https://webhook.site/ff4a6f68-3b20-4bb2-afa1-c15ccae515ef");
Exception I am getting for target external endpoint
org.apache.camel.NoSuchEndpointException:
No endpoint could be found for:
https://webhook.site/ff4a6f68-3b20-4bb2-afa1-c15ccae515ef,
please check your classpath contains the needed Camel component jar.
Please let me know, where I am making mistake.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You don't have camel-http as dependency so add the dependency with correct version
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-http</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Since you are already using camel 3.x you might also want to consider using dynamic endpoint component, in case your destination URL is defined dynamically. For example:
from("direct:login")
.toD("http:myloginserver:8080/login?userid=${header.userName}");
