hotelbeds.com REST API Authentication

Demonstrates how to calculate the X-Signature header and add to requests sent to api.test.hotelbeds.com. C#

bool success = false;

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

//  This example duplicates the following CURL statement provided in the hotelbeds.com "Getting Started"
//  developer documentation:

//  #!/bin/bash 
//  apiKey="yourApiKey"
//  secret="yourSecret"
//  curl -i \
//    -X GET \
//    -H 'Accept:application/json' \
//    -H 'Api-key:'$apiKey'' \
//    -H 'X-Signature:'$(echo -n ${apiKey}${secret}$(date +%s)|sha256sum|awk '{ print $1}')'' \
//    https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status

//  The "date + %s" command emits a UNIX date/time number such as 1605548842
//  We need to concatenate the apiKey, secret, and current date/time in UNIX (numeric) time format.
Chilkat.CkDateTime dt = new Chilkat.CkDateTime();
dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();
//  Get the UNIX time string in the GMT timezone.
bool bLocalTime = false;
string unixTimeStr = dt.GetAsUnixTimeStr(bLocalTime);
Debug.WriteLine(unixTimeStr);

//  Use your own API key and secret.  (These are not valid values)
string apiKey = "227b20a2cb705e45f3b0a0944672dc07";
string secret = "54dc7ba9e2";

Chilkat.StringBuilder sb = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sb.Append(apiKey);
sb.Append(secret);
sb.Append(unixTimeStr);

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256";
crypt.EncodingMode = "hexlower";
string signature = crypt.HashStringENC(sb.GetAsString());

Debug.WriteLine(signature);

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

http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
http.SetRequestHeader("Api-key",apiKey);
http.SetRequestHeader("X-Signature",signature);

string jsonResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status");
Debug.WriteLine(jsonResponse);
Debug.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(http.LastStatus));

//  Sample output:
