Access Sender RESTful URL

Hello & Good Morning...

My requirement is "Sender REST" - "File Receiver" scenario.

The partner provided an URL. Kind of PO has to launch on the partner "data dump". I have to access the URL on daily basis.

This is kind of API, but no request. when I access the URL in browser, I can see the required data in XML format.

Question: 1) Without BPM, how can we access URL data?

               2) Do I need to create a dummy File adapter and access REST URL with adapter modules?

                    2.1) So, scenario would be File (REST in adapter module) to File... correct?

Is there any simple way in PO?

Thanks,

RV...
