You can send the HTTP request with the base Java HTTP API or use something like Unirest: http://kong.github.io/unirest-java/
Can I use an HTTP Client library (Unirest) in a Spring Boot project
1 project | /r/java | 7 Jul 2021

After not using Java or Spring Boot for development for a while I've kind of forgotten about most of it. I have an internal interview for a project tomorrow in which I need to know about Unirest but until now I haven't heard of any HTTP client libraries in Java because I never needed to use one. I'm learning about it right now and I can follow a tutorial and figure it out. However I'm confused as to why I haven't needed or heard of it before.
