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.

Preparing the Environment

  1. You have obtained the domain name, request URL, and request method of the API to be called, and the AppKey and AppSecret of the App for calling the API. For more information, see Preparation.
  2. Install the OpenSSL library.
    apt-get install libssl-dev
  3. Install the curl library.
    apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Obtaining the SDK

  1. Log in to the DataArts Studio console.
  2. Click DataArts DataService.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose DataArts DataService Exclusive > SDKs.
  4. On the SDKs page, download the SDK package.
  5. Verify integrity of the SDK package. In Windows, open the CLI and run the following command to generate the SHA-256 value of the downloaded SDK package. In the command, D:\java-sdk.zip is an example local path and name of the SDK package. Replace it with the actual value.

    certutil -hashfile D:\java-sdk.zip SHA256

    The following is an example command output:

    SHA-256 hash value of D:\java-sdk.zip
    3a86f1ba249a00727db506e4075ec9630e6cf74f312bddf6c3901c9d0786f53e
    CertUtil: -hashfile command executed.
    3a86f1ba249a00727db506e4075ec9630e6cf74f312bddf6c3901c9d0786f53e

    Compare the SHA-256 value of the downloaded SDK package with that provided in the following table. If they are the same, no tampering or packet loss occurred during the package download.

API Calling Example

  1. Add the following references to main.c:

    #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 AppKey and AppSecret.

    sig_params_t params;
    sig_params_init(&params);
    
    // Coded or plaintext AK and SK pose significant security risks. To ensure security, encrypt your AK and SK, store them in configuration files or environment variables, and decrypt them when needed.
    // In this example, the AK and SK stored in the environment variables are used for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables SDK_AK and SDK_SK in the local environment.
    char* ak = getenv("SDK_AK");
    char* sk = getenv("SDK_SK");
    
    sig_str_t app_key = sig_str(ak);
    sig_str_t app_secret = sig_str(sk);
    params.key = app_key;
    params.secret = app_secret;

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

    sig_str_t host = sig_str("{apig-endpoint}");
    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;

  4. Add a header to the request. The header contains specific parameters. Add other headers to be signed as necessary.

    sig_headers_add(&params.headers, "x-stage", "RELEASE");
    sig_headers_add(&params.headers, "name","value");

  5. Execute the following function to add the generated headers to the request variable. Then, add the x-Authorization header to the request. The value of the x-Authorization header is the same as that of the Authorization header.

    sig_sign(&params);
    char* authorization = sig_headers_get(&params.headers, "Authorization")->value.data;
    sig_headers_add(&params.headers, "x-Authorization", authorization);

  6. 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;
    }

  7. Run the make command to obtain a main executable file, execute the file, and then view the execution result.
