Hi @Narasimma varman

the InvokeHTTP Processor in NiFi can be used. More on the InvokeHTTP processor here: https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-standard-nar/1.2.0/org.apache...

In fact, there is a good tutorial walking through how to get data from an API endpoint here: https://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/learning-ropes-apache-nifi/#section_5

As always, if you find this source useful, please accept the answer.

You can add dynamic properties in the InvokeHttp processor's configuration dialog as described here.
