CardConnect Test API Credentials

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL.

Chilkat C# Downloads

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  The CardConnect REST Web Service base URL includes a protocol, host, port and servlet specification.
//  
//  For example:
//  https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/
//  
//  This represents an HTTPS request to the REST web service base URL. 
//  The servlet name is fixed within the application; the host and port are assigned by CardConnect. 

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

http.BasicAuth = true;
http.Login = "API_USERNAME";
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD";

string url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";
string responseStr = http.QuickGetStr(url);

if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
Debug.WriteLine("response status code = " + Convert.ToString(http.LastStatus));

Debug.WriteLine("response string:");
Debug.WriteLine(responseStr);

//  Sample output:

//  response status code = 200
//  response string:
//  <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html>
