RefreshScope Runtime Configuration Without Spring Cloud Config Server

Question

Is it possible to refresh property(api-url) through POST rest api /refresh call using @RefreshScope without having setup of spring cloud config server and spring cloud config client setup.

for.e.g Consumer.java

@Service
public class Consumer {

@value(${api-url})
private String apiUrl;

api-url is getting read from application.yml now. I want to change the api-url at runtime without restarting server.

Is it possible in spring boot?

Yes, just include spring cloud starter
