If not, you need to set the Proxy information as mentioned by my colleague or contact your local IT support team.

Hello @shivaramane.sampath,

Which Java library are you using for this. Since the system cannot resolve the hostname, most likely your application is behind a proxy server. Please add the proxy information for the REST library you are using. In most cases, you can set a system proxy information like this -

System.setProperty("proxyHost", "*****");
System.setProperty("proxyPort", "****");
