CardConnect Test API Credentials

See more CardConnect Examples

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- The CardConnect REST Web Service base URL includes a protocol, host, port and servlet specification.
--
-- For example:
-- https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/
--
-- This represents an HTTPS request to the REST web service base URL.
-- The servlet name is fixed within the application; the host and port are assigned by CardConnect.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

http.basic_auth = true
http.login = "API_USERNAME"
http.password = "API_PASSWORD"

local url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
local responseStr = http:quick_get_str(url)

if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
print("response status code = " .. http.last_status)

print("response string:")
print(responseStr)

-- Sample output:

-- response status code = 200
-- response string:
-- <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html>
