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

Download the SDK and demo.

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

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. In this example, the AK and SK stored in the environment variables are used. Specify the environment variables HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK and HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK in the local environment first. The following uses Linux as an example to describe how to set the obtained AK/SK as environment variables.
      1. Open the terminal and run the following command to open the environment variable configuration file:

        vi ~/.bashrc

      2. Set environment variables, save the file, and exit the editor.
        export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK="Obtained AK"
        export HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK="Obtained SK"
      3. Run the following command to apply the modification:

        source ~/.bashrc

    2. Generate a sig_params_t variable, and enter the configured environment variables.
      1
      2
      3
      4
      5
      6
      7
      8
      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 ak = sig_str(getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK"));
      sig_str_t sk = sig_str(getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK"));
      params.key = ak;
      params.secret = sk;
      

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

    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.
