# 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. 

http = chilkat2.Http()

http.BasicAuth = True
http.Login = "API_USERNAME"
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

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

if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
print("response status code = " + str(http.LastStatus))

print("response string:")
print(responseStr)

# Sample output:

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