how can I make an API call from Confluence

An API call from Confluence is like making a request for information from a website. It’s like asking a website to give you something, like a document or a photo. To make an API call from Confluence, you will need to create a custom macro that can make the request. The macro will use the Confluence API to send a request to a web service and it will get a response back. Here’s an example. Let’s say you have a Confluence page that displays a list of events. You want to display a list of the upcoming events on the page. To do this, you can create a custom macro that uses the Confluence API to make a request to an events website. The website will then send back a response containing the list of upcoming events. The macro can then display the list of events on the Confluence page. Fun fact: API stands for Application Programming Interface.
