How to invoke secured API using httpClient

Today I faced difficulty when try to invoke published API on WSO2 API Manager using https protocol. The reason for this was before invoking I haven't set the truststore definition in my HttpClient. So after some effort and Googling I wrote a sample client project and I believe this will be useful to other as well.

So better publish it :)

To set up the sample to test this client you can use Deploying and Testing YouTube API sample API on our API Manager docs.

And on the client code you need to update the Authorization Bearer and URL according to your published API. In this sample I have used client-trust.jks inside my client. But it is always recommended that client should generate his own keystore, and export the public key to client-trust.jks and then client should invoke the API using his own keystore.

You can download the sample client maven project here.
