(C# UWP/WinRT) Shopify Private Authentication for Private Apps

Shopify private authentication is for interacting with your own store through private applications. It uses HTTP "Basic" authentication with your Shopify private application key and secret key.

This example demonstrates how to send a private authenticated request using Chilkat Http, and then the same using Chilkat Rest.

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

// First demonstrate sending a simple request using Shopify private authentication w/ the Chilkat Http API.
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
// Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.
http.Login = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY";
http.Password = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY";
http.BasicAuth = true;

// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = await http.QuickGetObjAsync("https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the response code.
if (resp.StatusCode != 200) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Received error response code: " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("Response body:");
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);

    return;
}

// Success.
Debug.WriteLine("Success.");

// Examine the JSON response 
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbJson = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
resp.GetBodySb(sbJson);

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.LoadSb(sbJson);
json.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());

// -------------------------------------------------
// Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Provide the private app credentials:
rest.SetAuthBasic("SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY","SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY");

// Connect to the shopify server.
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
bool success = await rest.ConnectAsync("chilkat.myshopify.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

sbJson.Clear();
success = await rest.FullRequestNoBodySbAsync("GET","/admin/products.json",sbJson);
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

if (rest.ResponseStatusCode != 200) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Received error response code: " + Convert.ToString(rest.ResponseStatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("Response body:");
    Debug.WriteLine(sbJson.GetAsString());
    return;
}

// Success...
json.LoadSb(sbJson);
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
