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.

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.
1. In this example, the AK and SK stored in the environment variables are used. Specify the environment variables CLOUD_SDK_AK and CLOUD_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 CLOUD_SDK_AK="Obtained AK"
export CLOUD_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.
```
sig_params_t params;
sig_params_init(&params);
sig_str_t app_key = sig_str(getenv("CLOUD_SDK_AK"));
sig_str_t app_secret = sig_str(getenv("CLOUD_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;
