Here I am calling simple java http get method and passing parameter with url
url suppose : https://jsonmock.anywebsite.com/api/movies/search/?Title=spiderman
here Title is parameter that I will pass to with my url
anywebsite is replaced with the name of code testing web site, hence this url will not work
but if I hit correct url in chrome (as it is simple get request no need of postman or insomnia tool)
it would return below result
{"page":1,"per_page":10,"total":13,"total_pages":2,"data":[{"Title":"Italian Spiderman","Year":2007,"imdbID":"tt2705436"},{"Title":"Superman, Spiderman or Batman","Year":2011,"imdbID":"tt2084949"},{"Title":"Spiderman","Year":1990,"imdbID":"tt0100669"},{"Title":"Spiderman","Year":2010,"imdbID":"tt1785572"},{"Title":"Fighting, Flying and Driving: The Stunts of Spiderman 3","Year":2007,"imdbID":"tt1132238"},{"Title":"Spiderman and Grandma","Year":2009,"imdbID":"tt1433184"},{"Title":"The Amazing Spiderman T4 Premiere Special","Year":2012,"imdbID":"tt2233044"},{"Title":"Amazing Spiderman Syndrome","Year":2012,"imdbID":"tt2586634"},{"Title":"Hollywood's Master Storytellers: Spiderman Live","Year":2006,"imdbID":"tt2158533"},{"Title":"Spiderman 5","Year":2008,"imdbID":"tt3696826"}]}
Data and OuterObj is the class according to this json data type.
I have maven java project
this code would work with this dependency
Please add this dependency in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
<version>2.8.5</version>
</dependency>
In this code I haven't did null checking, please do null checking

I was failed to complete this task in stipulated time, hope it would help me or others in future.
Thanks
