Hi Chandran,

Yes the platform has ability to integrate with external REST APIs.  I think the best approach will be through our integration connectors.  With these, you can map REST APIs to services on the ThingWorx side which can be called from your Mashup.  These also use Infotables to return the results sets from the REST payload that you can show in charts, grids, etc. on your Mashup.

More info here:

Does this work for your use case?

Hi Chandran, I think this should be doable with something like GetJSON service available under ThingWorx Composer > System > Resources > Content Loader Functions > GetJSON; it's accepting following input parameters.
