To use play-ws outside of play see "Using WSClient" section of documentation: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ScalaWS

val builder = new com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder()
val client = new play.api.libs.ws.ning.NingWSClient(builder.build())
val response = client.url(url).get()
