how to call an url from salesforce

Hi guys,

I'm having issues calling an url from salesforce. 
Here is th code.
private final String clientId = 'xxxxxxxxx';
private final String clientSecret = 'xxxxxx';
String reqbody = 'grant_type=password&client_id='+clientId+'&client_secret='+clientSecret;
Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setBody(reqbody);
request.setMethod('GET');
request.setEndpoint('http://xxxx/api/xx-xxx-xxxxxxx-api/v1.0/getEmplId?firstName=xxx&lastName=xxx&middleName=xx');
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
if (response.getStatusCode() != 201) {
  System.debug('The status code returned was not expected: ' +
       response.getStatusCode() + ' ' + response.getStatus());
} else {
   System.debug(response.getBody());
}
I'm getting the following message - response|"System.HttpResponse[Status=Service Unavailable, StatusCode=503]".
I've added the site url in salesforce. 

Please let me what I'm doing wrong?!

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,
NSK

The issue is not with Salesforce.

Check this - https://httpstatuses.com/503

The server where the API is hosted is having the issue.

Thanks for your response Magulan.

Client id and client secret can be passed through request.setbody() ? My code above is correct ?

It should be on the setHeader method. Check https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_restful_http_httprequest.htm
