C

Scenarios

To use C to call an API through app authentication, obtain the C SDK, and then call the API by referring to the API calling example.

Prerequisites

You have obtained API calling information. For details, see Preparation.
Install the OpenSSL library.
```
apt-get install libssl-dev
```
Install the curl library.
```
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
```

Obtaining the SDK

Log in to the APIG console, and download the SDK on the SDKs page by referring to section "SDKs" in the API Gateway User Guide.

Alternatively, download the latest SDK version. Then obtain the ApiGateway-c-sdk.zip package. The following table shows the files decompressed from the package.

Name	Description
signer_common.c	SDK code
signer_common.h
signer.c
signer.h
Makefile	Makefile file
main.c	Sample code

API Calling Example

Add the following references to main.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include "signer.h"

Generate a sig_params_t variable, and enter the AppKey and AppSecret.

sig_params_t params;
sig_params_init(&params);
// Directly writing AK/SK in code is risky. For security, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables.
// In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, set environment variables HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK and HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK.
sig_str_t app_key = sig_str(getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK"));
sig_str_t app_secret = sig_str(getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK"));
params.key = app_key;
params.secret = app_secret;

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

sig_str_t host = sig_str("c967a237-cd6c-470e-906f-a8655461897e.apigw.exampleRegion.com");
sig_str_t method = sig_str("GET");
sig_str_t uri = sig_str("/app1");
sig_str_t query_str = sig_str("a=1&b=2");
sig_str_t payload = sig_str("");
params.host = host;
params.method = method;
params.uri = uri;
params.query_str = query_str;
params.payload = payload;

Add the x-stage header to the request to specify an environment name. Add other headers to be signed as necessary.
```
sig_headers_add(&params.headers, "x-stage", "RELEASE");
```
Execute the following function to add the generated headers to the request variable.
```
sig_sign(&params);
```

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

static size_t
WriteMemoryCallback(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp)
{
    size_t realsize = size * nmemb;
    struct MemoryStruct *mem = (struct MemoryStruct *)userp;

    mem->memory = (char*)realloc(mem->memory, mem->size + realsize + 1);
    if (mem->memory == NULL) {
        /* out of memory! */
        printf("not enough memory (realloc returned NULL)\n");
        return 0;
    }

    memcpy(&(mem->memory[mem->size]), contents, realsize);
    mem->size += realsize;
    mem->memory[mem->size] = 0;

    return realsize;
}

//send http request using curl library
int perform_request(RequestParams* request)
{
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;
    struct MemoryStruct resp_header;
    resp_header.memory = malloc(1);
    resp_header.size = 0;
    struct MemoryStruct resp_body;
    resp_body.memory = malloc(1);
    resp_body.size = 0;

    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
    curl = curl_easy_init();

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, params.method.data);
    char url[1024];
    sig_snprintf(url, 1024, "http://%V%V?%V", &params.host, &params.uri, &params.query_str);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
    struct curl_slist *chunk = NULL;
    for (int i = 0; i < params.headers.len; i++) {
        char header[1024];
        sig_snprintf(header, 1024, "%V: %V", &params.headers.data[i].name, &params.headers.data[i].value);
        printf("%s\n", header);
        chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, header);
    }
    printf("-------------\n");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, chunk);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, params.payload.data);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0L);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, WriteMemoryCallback);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADERDATA, (void *)&resp_header);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, (void *)&resp_body);
    //curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if (res != CURLE_OK) {
        fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
    }
    else {
        long status;
        curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE, &status);
        printf("status %d\n", status);
        printf(resp_header.memory);
        printf(resp_body.memory);
    }
    free(resp_header.memory);
    free(resp_body.memory);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);

    curl_global_cleanup();

    //free signature params
    sig_params_free(&params);
    return 0;
