kafka producer pulling from custom restAPI

[so...@accenture.com]

Hi,

I have a quick question. Say I have a custom REST API with data in JSON format. Can the Kafka Producer read directly from the REST API and write to a topic?

If so, can you point me to the code base?

Thanks,
Sonali

The answer is no, it doesn't work that way.  You would have to write a process to consume from the API back end and have that back end write to Kafka
