gRPC服务器如何调用REST端点

Question

I'm currently new to gRPC technology and have been reading up on it.

My current understanding is that gRPC is just another protocol just like how REST is one. Now lets say I spin up a gRPC server that I want clients to consume, but in that gRPC server I'd like to be able to get information from outside consumer RESTful Apis, (for example https://developer.riotgames.com/api-methods/) is that still possible?

Yes, it is possible. You can make calls to other APIs and services from your own gRPC service code.

Just let your client make a call to your gRPC service. Then, your service makes a REST call to external API (possibly using arguments from client request to your gRPC service) and processes it. Return the result to your client however your gRPC service responds.
