how to connect zabbix api from within the containers?

we are running 3 components of zabbix. Zabbix-webui, zabbix server and mysql database as docker containers using docker-compose file. have created another springboot application which is dockerized & trying to connect to zabbix api. All 4 images are running within the same compose file.

How can we connect to zabbix api and fetch the api results in our application?

Let's assume this docker-compose.yml file:

version: '2'

services:
  zabbix-frontend:
    restart: always
    image: zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql
    environment:
     - DB_SERVER_HOST=someserver
  [...]

  some-application:
    restart: always
    image: yourapplication:latest

Your some-application container should connect to http://zabbix-frontend to consume the APIs.

To test http reachability from within the application container (a5d95c2cc9a2 in the example):

# docker exec -it a5d95c2cc9a2 sh

sh-4.2# curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' \
   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"user.login", \
   "params":{ "user":"youruser","password":"somepassword"},"auth":null,"id":0}' \
   http://zabbix-frontend/api_jsonrpc.php

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 19:17:55 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
