How to add URL that changes often as variable and not writing them directly in Apex Class

public with sharing class searchProduct2Controller 
{
   
    @AuraEnabled
    public static List < Product2 > fetchProduct2(String searchKeyWord) {
        String searchKey = searchKeyWord + '%';
        List < Product2 > returnList = new List < Product2 > ();
        List < Product2 > lstOfProduct2 = [select Name,ProductCode,Price__c from Product2
                                           where Name LIKE: searchKey LIMIT 500];
        
        for (Product2 prod: lstOfProduct2) {
            returnList.add(prod);
        }
        return returnList;
    }
    
    @AuraEnabled
    public static List<AWSWrapper> awsData(){
        
        Http h = new Http();
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint('https://s3.amazonaws.com/targetx-sfdc-interview/packages.json');
        req.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        return (List<AWSWrapper>)JSON.deserialize(res.getBody().replaceAll('__c','_Tempc'), List<AWSWrapper>.class);
    }
}

In awsData(), in req.setEndpoint('https://s3.amazonaws.com/targetx-sfdc-interview/packages.json'); I have given the URL directly here.
How can I assign it to a configurable variable and access that variable here so that whenever URL changes in future, I can change only there and not to make any modifications to the code?

You may use custom metadatype or custom settings to implement this.
please refer the following steps.
1. Add a custom metadata type, lets call it mySetting, add a customer field called URL__c.
2. Add a record to this metadatype
    Masterlabel: Amazonaws
    Url__c: your URL used in the code

3.in apex code

@AuraEnabled
    public static List<AWSWrapper> awsData(){
        
       Mysettins__mdt setting = [select url__c from mysettings__mdt where masterlabel = 'amazonaws' limit 1];

        Http h = new Http();
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint(setting.url__c);
        req.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        return (List<AWSWrapper>)JSON.deserialize(res.getBody().replaceAll('__c','_Tempc'), List<AWSWrapper>.class);
    }
}

Hi David Zhu,

I'm new to salesforce so Could you tell how to do the same with custom settings too?
David Zhu 🔥David Zhu 🔥
With custom setting you need to add another field ,let's say site__c.
Mysettings__c setting = [select url__c from mysettings__c where site__c ='zamamzinaws'];
Use the line above to replace custom metadata query
