<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-iota</artifactId>
    <version>x.y.z</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

==== Query Parameters (11 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *depth* (common) | The depth determines how deep the tangle is analysed for getting Tips | 9 | Integer
