'kafka producer reading events from wikipedia in Java

I'm quite new to Kafka and as one of my first projects I'm trying to create a kafka producer in Java which will read events from Wikipedia/Wikimedia and post them to relevant topics.

I'm looking at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event_Platform/EventStreams and https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/ui/#/ for references on the wikipedia API.

I followed the basic guides for creating Kafka producers in Java, but they mainly rely on events created locally on my machine.

When looking at solutions which read events from a remote server, I see they are using libraries which are not kafka native (e.g. spring.io).

Is there a way to set up my producer with native Kafka libraries that come as part of the kafka installation package?
