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

Obtaining the SDK

Old version: Log in to the ROMA Connect console, choose API Connect > API Calling > SDKs, and download the SDK.

New version: Log in to the ROMA Connect console, choose API Connect > Credentials > SDKs, and download the SDK.

The following shows the directory structure after the decompression.

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

API Calling Example

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 signer and enter the key and secret of the authorized credential. For details about how to obtain the information, see Obtaining API Calling Information.

// 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. For details about how to obtain the information, see Obtaining API Calling Information.
```
 RequestParams* request = new RequestParams("POST", "c967a237-cd6c-470e-906f-a8655461897e.apigw.exampleRegion.com", "/app1",
        "Action=ListUsers&Version=2010-05-08", "demo");
```
Add the x-stage header to the request to specify the environment. Add other headers to sign as required.
```
request->addHeader("x-stage", "RELEASE");
```
Execute the following function to add the generated headers as request variables.
```
signer.createSignature(request);
```

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

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;
}
