Preparing the Environment

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

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

Obtaining the SDK

Download the SDK and demo.

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

Name	Description
hasher.cpp	SDK code
hasher.h
header.h
RequestParams.cpp
RequestParams.h
signer.cpp
signer.h
constants.h
Makefile	Makefile file
main.cpp	Sample code

Request Signing and API Calling

Add the following references to main.cpp:

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

Generate a new signer and enter the AK and SK.

      
           //Set the AK/SK to sign and authenticate the request.
// 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.
Signer signer(getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK"), getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK"));

Generate a new RequestParams request, and specify the method, domain name, request URI, query strings, and request body.

      
           //Specify a request method, such as GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, and PATCH.
//Set a request URL.
//Set parameters for the request URL.
//Add a body if you have specified the PUT or POST method. Special characters, such as the double quotation mark ("), contained in the body must be escaped.
RequestParams* request = new RequestParams("GET", "service.region.example.com", "/v1/{project_id}/vpcs",
        "limit=2", "");

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

      
           //Add header parameters, for example, X-Domain-Id for invoking a global service and X-Project-Id for invoking a project-level service.
request->addHeader("X-Project-Id", "xxx");

Execute the following function to add the generated headers as request variables.
1

signer.createSignature(request);

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;
}

int perform_request(RequestParams* request)

    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;
