Walmart Partner API Authentication (Generate a Signature for a Request)

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a signature for a Walmart Partner REST API call. Perl

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

$consumerId = "b68d2a72....";

# We need a timestamp in decimal string form representing the number of milliseconds since Jan 01 1970 UTC.
$dt = chilkat::CkDateTime->new();
# Set bLocal = 1 for a timestamp in the local timezone.  Set bLocal = 0 for a UTC timestamp.

# We add three zero's so that the timestamp value is in milliseconds.
# We don't care about accuracy down to less than a second.
# All the server cares about is that the request was signed at the current date/time
# within some reasonable margin of error (to account for systems having clocks
# that may be slightly different).

# used for PEM.  However, the LoadPem method will still accept it and load it correctly.
