(Objective-C) 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.
CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

// 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 = YES;

// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
CkoHttpResponse *resp = [http QuickGetObj: @"https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json"];
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the response code.
if ([resp.StatusCode intValue] != 200) {
    NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Received error response code: ",[resp.StatusCode intValue]);
    NSLog(@"%@",@"Response body:");
    NSLog(@"%@",resp.BodyStr);

    return;
}

// Success.
NSLog(@"%@",@"Success.");

// Examine the JSON response 
CkoStringBuilder *sbJson = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];
[resp GetBodySb: sbJson];

CkoJsonObject *json = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
[json LoadSb: sbJson];
json.EmitCompact = NO;
NSLog(@"%@",[json Emit]);

// -------------------------------------------------
// Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
CkoRest *rest = [[CkoRest alloc] init];

// Provide the private app credentials:
[rest SetAuthBasic: @"SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY" password: @"SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY"];

// Connect to the shopify server.
BOOL bTls = YES;
int port = 443;
BOOL bAutoReconnect = YES;
// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
BOOL success = [rest Connect: @"chilkat.myshopify.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: port] tls: bTls autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

[sbJson Clear];
success = [rest FullRequestNoBodySb: @"GET" uriPath: @"/admin/products.json" sb: sbJson];
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

if ([rest.ResponseStatusCode intValue] != 200) {
    NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Received error response code: ",[rest.ResponseStatusCode intValue]);
    NSLog(@"%@",@"Response body:");
    NSLog(@"%@",[sbJson GetAsString]);
    return;
}

// Success...
[json LoadSb: sbJson];
NSLog(@"%@",[json Emit]);
