REST Calls from Alfresco Process Editor in JSON format

I would like to create a REST call using the Alfresco Process Editor which needs to be in the following format:

https://addresscoverage-cd50.restdb.io/rest/addresssample?q={"STREET_NUMBER": ${streetnumber}}

 where ${streetnumber} is an input variable from a form in the model. e.g.

                https://addresscoverage-cd50.restdb.io/rest/addresssample?q={"STREET_NUMBER": 194}

This works fine in POSTMAN.(call also requires an x-apikey for auth in the header).

Is it possible to construct a URI in this form using the Alfresco Process Editor? 

Or can I edit the model XML to achieve the same thing ?e.g.

<activiti:string><![CDATA[https://addresscoverage-cd50.restdb.io/rest/addresssample]]></activiti:string>
<modeler:request-mapping xmlns:modeler="http://activiti.com/modeler" modeler:jsonPropertyName="q" modeler:jsonPropertyType=??? modeler:jsonPropertyValue=???

Hi,

    I would suggest to use java execution listener and in the listener you can call this Rest API using any java Rest client.There is a possiblity of passing parameters to the listeners.

Please Refer activiti documentation for further details Activiti User Guide 

you can also refer some of the examples on execution listeners in the sommunity
