How to get the HTTP status of an API in spring boot when we hit it internally using Rest template

Question

I want to get the object as well as the HTTP response of one api into another in Spring code. For that I am using a rest template and I am getting the desired Object from it successfully.

But I want to fetch HTTP response also for the respective api. What should I do to get this?

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
Quote quote = restTemplate.getForObject("http://gturnquist-quoters.cfapps.io/api/random", Quote.class);
System.out.println("quote "+quote);
System.out.println(quote.getType());
log.info(quote.toString());

getForObject method of RestTemplate only gets the result. If you're interest in the status code you should invode exchange which returns a ResponseEntity which has a getStatusCode method.

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    ResponseEntity<Quote> response= restTemplate.exchange ("http://gturnquist-quoters.cfapps.io/api/random", HttpMethod.GET, null, Quote.class);
    Quote quote = response..getBody();
    System.out.println("status "+response..getStatusCode());
    System.out.println("quote "+quote);
    System.out.println(quote.getType());

Thanks alot it just fulfill the requirement i was looking for — Amit Gujarathi, Apr 14 '17 at 05:22
