// 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.
loDt = createobject("CkDateTime")
loDt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
// Get the UNIX time string in the GMT timezone.
llBLocalTime = .F.
lcUnixTimeStr = loDt.GetAsUnixTimeStr(llBLocalTime)
? lcUnixTimeStr

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

loSb = createobject("CkStringBuilder")
loSb.Append(lcApiKey)
loSb.Append(lcSecret)
loSb.Append(lcUnixTimeStr)

loCrypt = createobject("CkCrypt2")
loCrypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"
loCrypt.EncodingMode = "hexlower"
lcSignature = loCrypt.HashStringENC(loSb.GetAsString())

? lcSignature

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json")
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Api-key",lcApiKey)
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("X-Signature",lcSignature)

lcJsonResponse = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status")
? lcJsonResponse
? str(loHttp.LastStatus)

// Sample output:  

// 1605549542
