JMeter executes requests as fast as it can, I don't fully understand your 100 number of parallel HTTP request stanza.

  • If you want 100 virtual users concurrently accessing your API endpoint: under Thread Group specify number of threads as 100 and set loop count to Forever or -1. In this case the actual number of requests per second will depend on your application response time
  • If you want to send 100 requests at exactly the same moment - use Synchronizing Timer
  • If you need to send 100 requests per second - use Precise Throughput Timer

For parameterizing your request with external data people normally use CSV Data Set Config
