Preparing the Environment

This section uses Linux Ubuntu as an example. Before calling APIs, install the required SSL tools.

  1. Install the OpenSSL library.
    1
    apt-get install libssl-dev
    
  2. Install the curl library.
    1
    apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
    

Obtaining the SDK

Log in to the API Gateway console and choose Help Center > SDK Process Flow. Then download the SDK. For details, see section "SDKs" in the User Guide.

Decompress the downloaded package to the current folder. The following table shows the directory structure.

Sample code

Request Signing and API Calling

  1. Add the following references to main.c:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <curl/curl.h>
    #include "signer.h"
    

  2. Generate a sig_params_t variable, and enter the AK and SK.

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    sig_params_t params;
    sig_params_init(&params);
    sig_str_t ak = sig_str("QTWAOY******QVKYUC");
    sig_str_t sk = sig_str("MFyfvK41ba2giqM7**********KGpownRZlmVmHc");
    params.key = ak;
    params.secret = sk;
    

  3. Specify the method, domain name, request URI, query strings, and request body.

     1
     2
     3
     4
     5
     6
     7
     8
     9
    10
    sig_str_t host = sig_str("service.region.example.com");
    sig_str_t method = sig_str("GET");
    sig_str_t uri = sig_str("/v1/{project_id}/vpcs");
    sig_str_t query_str = sig_str("limit=2");
    sig_str_t payload = sig_str("");
    params.host = host;
    params.method = method;
    params.uri = uri;
    params.query_str = query_str;
    params.payload = payload;
    

  4. Add header parameters or other headers required for other purposes. For example, add the X-Project-Id header in multi-project scenarios or the X-Domain-Id header for a global service.

    1
    2
    //Add header parameters, for example, X-Domain-Id for invoking a global service and X-Project-Id for invoking a project-level service.
    sig_headers_add(&params.headers, "X-Project-Id", "xxx");
    

  5. Execute the following function to add the generated headers as request variables.

    1
    sig_sign(&params);
    

  6. Use the curl library to access the API and view the access result.
