Hi friends,

Could someone please guide me, how to pass a request to a third-party API along with the parameters.

Either they provide us with a package?

Currently i registered with a third party API and they give me the login credentials but since its a start-up company they didnt provide me with any documentation.

Please help me out

Are you talking about an HTTP request? If so, you can use HttpURLConnection (sample code) or Apache Commons HttpClient!

Thanks friend. But i will rather go for Web Services as the response will be an XML file.
