Hi Rajiv,

Third party API's can be used as normal packages in Java. You can import the API package to your UDF , then you can play .

As Baskar said  choosing your adapter for this api call .

Goto Message Mapping-> functions tab . Then u will get following screen , If 3rd party vendor given API as package (goto Packages tab and add there) else vendor provide Archive add in Archive tab.

I would first get more insight about that API and see what communication standards/protocol it supports. Accordingly you decide choosing adapter for this api call.
