(C#) CardConnect Validate Merchant-Level Credentials
To test and validate merchant-level credentials, you can make a PUT request, including the merchant ID in the body of the request, to the base URL. The Gateway verifies that the MID matches the credentials provided in the header.
// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
http.BasicAuth = true;
http.Login = "API_USERNAME";
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD";
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bool success = json.UpdateString("merchid","MERCHANT_ID");
string url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";
string responseStr = http.PutText(url,json.Emit(),"utf-8","application/json",false,false);
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
