(JavaScript) Shopify Private Authentication for Private Apps

Shopify private authentication is for interacting with your own store through private applications. It uses HTTP "Basic" authentication with your Shopify private application key and secret key.

This example demonstrates how to send a private authenticated request using Chilkat Http, and then the same using Chilkat Rest.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First demonstrate sending a simple request using Shopify private authentication w/ the Chilkat Http API.
var http = new CkHttp();

// To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
// Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.
http.Login = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY";
http.Password = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY";
http.BasicAuth = true;

// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpNoBody("GET","https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the response code.
if (resp.StatusCode !== 200) {
    console.log("Received error response code: " + resp.StatusCode);
    console.log("Response body:");
    console.log(resp.BodyStr);
    return;
}

// Success.
console.log("Success.");

// Examine the JSON response 
var sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
resp.GetBodySb(sbJson);
var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.LoadSb(sbJson);
json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());

// -------------------------------------------------
// Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
var rest = new CkRest();

// Provide the private app credentials:
rest.SetAuthBasic("SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY","SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY");

// Connect to the shopify server.
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var bAutoReconnect = true;
// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.myshopify.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

sbJson.Clear();
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET","/admin/products.json",sbJson);
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

if (rest.ResponseStatusCode !== 200) {
    console.log("Received error response code: " + rest.ResponseStatusCode);
    console.log("Response body:");
    console.log(sbJson.GetAsString());
    return;
}

// Success...
json.LoadSb(sbJson);
console.log(json.Emit());
