Calling a Java static function from Clojure

Question

I have a java package com.example.Api

I have included it in my project.clj

I have imported it:

(ns prismic-clojure.core
  (:import [com.example.Api])
  (:gen-class))

There is a static 'get' function which, in Java, I would access like:

Api api = Api.get("https://my.company.io/api", "secret-token");

The java function is defined as:

public static Api get(String url, String accessToken)

I have tried this:

(def api (. get Api "https://my.company.io/api" "secret-token") )

If it's a method, not a static function, then you need to actually create an Api instance. What's the calling convention for the constructor for that class? — Charles Duffy

(It would also be a good starting point to show what you've tried). — Charles Duffy

This is how you call a static function on the Api class:

(Api/get "https://my.company.io/api" "secret-token")
