(PowerBuilder) CardConnect Test API Credentials

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL.

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Http
string ls_Url
string ls_ResponseStr

// 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. 

loo_Http = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Http" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Http
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

loo_Http.BasicAuth = 1
loo_Http.Login = "API_USERNAME"
loo_Http.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

ls_Url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
ls_ResponseStr = loo_Http.QuickGetStr(ls_Url)

if loo_Http.LastMethodSuccess = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Http.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Http
    return
end if

// If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
Write-Debug "response status code = " + string(loo_Http.LastStatus)

Write-Debug "response string:"
Write-Debug ls_ResponseStr

// Sample output:

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