Fetch USA Cities by State data from your Java app

Follow this guide to fetch USA Cities by State data from your Java app. The HttpURLConnection library will be used to fetch the database data through its REST API.

Step 1 - Connect your app

First you need to connect your app to the USA Cities by State database. It will authorize you to access this database API using your app keys. If your app doesn't have keys at Back4App yet, they will be generated during this process.
