"I am basically looking to consume third party REST API"

We have an end to end article on how to write a AEM Component that can invoke a 3rd party Restful endpoint:

1 - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/restful-services.html

2 - http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2016/09/creating-aem-html-template-language.html (displays the data in a HTL component). This has a video too on the AEM Commmunity YouTube Channel

Hi Chandra,

By default aem is Restful & there is no specific end point. All request are resources. Sling resolution [0] is an key in understanding to access the info you are looking. [1] are the one I use a reference to understand initially. My experience for POST operations [3] helps a lot for manupulation.

Sling is resource centric & features in product is vast not able to cover all in doc. In general the basic AEM training covers the restful architect . The below article have complete example http://apachecon.com/presentation/materials/0000/0531/restful-sling-bdelacretaz-2010-101103132313-phpapp01.pdf

Below is simple example.

Create
curl -u admin:admin -Ftitle=hi http://localhost:4502/foo

GET in json format
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/foo.json

Update
curl -u admin:admin -Ftitle=hiupdate http://localhost:4502/foo

Delete
curl -u admin:admin -F:operation=delete http://localhost:4502/foo
