How to send alerts in elastalert to a api exposed in our application

We have used elastalert to monitor logs in elasticsearch. If I configure email I get the mail and everything is working as expected.

Now the ask is to send the alerts to an API that is exposed in our application. So that this API will get the alert and work on it..

As far as I searched the alert can be sent to email,slack,MS teams etc but how to send it to some URL.

Any help on this will be really appreciated

Thanks in advance
