How to consume an external API using Java, Spring Boot and Gradle

Not long ago I wrote an article showing how to build a REST API with Java, Spring Boot and Maven. On that tutorial I explain a little about the concept of “REST” and about the tools and frameworks I used. I divided that tutorial in five parts. You can check Part 1 here (there will be links to the other parts).

Now it’s time to show you how to consume an API that is external from our application.
