You need to use InvokeHTTP processor to get response back from the API.

InvokeHTTP Configs:-

change the Remote URL property value to your url that gives back you required response.

Change the Username,Password property values also.

In this invoke http processor will get the JSON response and then you need to use

Evaluate Json Path processor:-

if you are going to extract only one attribute then you need to add new property that matches with the Json attribute.

Example:-

1.If your json response is flattened as like below

{
    "id": "1",
    "Certificate": "HCC"
  }

Then the output of EvalJsonpath processor with above Configs would be

HCC

2.If your json response is like below

{
  "data": {
    "id": "1",
    "Certificate": "HCC"
  }
}

Configs of EvalJSON Processor:-

As you can see above screenshot i have changed the Certificate Property value as my JSON response Certificate is inside the data list.

so i have matched the Certificate attribute using $.data.Certificate which will result the output as

HCC

You need to change the Certificate property value as per your JSON Response.

Once you get output from the EvaluateJSONPath processor the results are stored in a File, You can store the file using PutFile(or)PutHDFS...etc

Flow:-

1.GenerateFlowFile Processor //Schedule to trigger InvokeHTTP processor
2.InvokeHTTP //Change the url,username,password property values and connect Response relation to EvalJsonPath
3.EvalJsonPath //add Certificate matching property value and connect matched relation to next processor
if you are going to store the result into HDFS or Local then
4.PutHDFS(or)PutFile //to store the output file from EvalJsonPath to Local (or) HDFS
