I'm looking for information on the possibility of connecting to Kafka using the Rest API written in R (based on the plumber library). Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything useful. Does anyone have knowledge about this? Does this mean that it is currently impossible?
I'm mainly interested in the process of connecting to Kafka in listening mode, but I couldn't even find information on how to send a message to the Kafka queue.
Could anyone share their knowledge or resources on this topic? Alternatively, please inform me that such functionality does not currently exist.
Kafka has no HTTP protocol without extra, external tools like Confluent REST Proxy, or ksqlDB pull queries.
Perhaps you should be using something else like
rkafka(no experience, was first search result)
