# Aiven Http Sink Connector

Aiven Http Sink Connector calls a given http endpoint for each item published to
your Kafka Topics.

In this guide, we will walk you through creating an Aiven Http Sink Connector.

## Get Started

### Create a Kafka Cluster

<Info>
  If you do not have a Kafka cluster and/or topic already, follow [these
  steps](../overall/getstarted) to create one.
</Info>

### Prepare the Test Environment

If you already have an HTTP endpoint that you will call, you can skip this step and continue from the [Create The Connector](#create-the-connector) section.

We will use [webhook.site](https://webhook.site/) to verify if the connector is
working. Go to [webhook.site](https://webhook.site/) and copy the unique url to
pass it in the connector config later.

Connector** button.

The advanced screen is for any other configuration that the selected connector
supports. At the top of this screen, you can find a link to related
documentation. We can proceed with what we have and click the **Connect** button
directly.

Congratulations! You have created an Aiven Http Sink Connector.

As you put data into your selected topics, the requests should be visible in
[webhook.site](https://webhook.site/)
