To retrieve data using Retrofit in Android, the following main components need to be defined:

API Interface (Service Interface) — describes HTTP requests using annotations (@GET, @POST, etc.) and methods that return Call or other types.
Retrofit object — created with a base URL, converters (e.g., GsonConverterFactory), and an HTTP client.
Data models (POJO) — classes that match the structure of the received data (e.g., JSON) for automatic parsing.

Example:

public interface ApiService {
    @GET("users/{id}")
    Call<User> getUser(@Path("id") int userId);
}

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
    .baseUrl("https://api.example.com/")
    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
    .build();

ApiService apiService = retrofit.create(ApiService.class);

Call<User> call = apiService.getUser(1);

Thus, the key components are the interface with request methods, the Retrofit object for configuration, and data models for parsing the response.
