Solution

  • You don't say much about what the API in question returns. If it is a WFS itself then you can cascade it through your GeoServer instance, which will allow you to serve it out as a WFS and a WMS.

    If it returns some other format, you can write a custom datastore by following the steps in this tutorial. When you have a working jar package you can drop it into the WEB-INF/lib folder and restart GeoServer and it should appear as a new datastore.
