Option2: I was thinking that REST call should allow me to make external call directly in OH2 but i see only REST API Docs in bindings.

Have a look into the following post to see an example of a more complex request from a OH rule:

iCloud device data integration in openHAB

Hi all. go get rid of my last dependency to MiOS/Vera I´ve started to create a rule to get the location of an iPhone directly from the iCloud. With the feedback from @ThomDietrich. @hmerk & the community the example evolved and is now able to retrieve quite some device specific information for multiple devices: Name: John’s iPhone Owner: John Doe Unique ID: VIRxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BatteryStatus: NotCharging BatteryLevel: 0.8100000023841858 Latitude: 51.xxxx…

For a simple call with get parameters sendHttpGetRequest(httpRequest) should be enough:

    val yahooWeatherLocationId = "782306"
    val httpRequest = "https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%3D" + yahooWeatherLocationId + "&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys"
    val String yahooWeatherJSON = sendHttpGetRequest(httpRequest)

with kind regards,
