hotelbeds.com REST API Authentication

See more HTTP Misc Examples

Demonstrates how to calculate the X-Signature header and add to requests sent to api.test.hotelbeds.com. Rust

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

// This example duplicates the following CURL statement provided in the hotelbeds.com "Getting Started"
// developer documentation:

// #!/bin/bash 
// apiKey="yourApiKey"
// secret="yourSecret"
// curl -i \
//   -X GET \
//   -H 'Accept:application/json' \
//   -H 'Api-key:'$apiKey'' \
//   -H 'X-Signature:'$(echo -n ${apiKey}${secret}$(date +%s)|sha256sum|awk '{ print $1}')'' \
//   https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status

// The "date + %s" command emits a UNIX date/time number such as 1605548842
// We need to concatenate the apiKey, secret, and current date/time in UNIX (numeric) time format.
let dt = chilkat::DateTime::new();
let _ = dt.set_from_current_system_time();
// Get the UNIX time string in the GMT timezone.
let b_local_time = false;
let unix_time_str = dt.get_as_unix_time_str(b_local_time).unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", unix_time_str);

// Use your own API key and secret.  (These are not valid values)
let api_key = "227b20a2cb705e45f3b0a0944672dc07".to_string();
let secret = "54dc7ba9e2".to_string();

let sb = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb.append(&api_key);
let _ = sb.append(&secret);
let _ = sb.append(&unix_time_str);

let crypt = chilkat::Crypt2::new();
crypt.set_hash_algorithm("sha256");
crypt.set_encoding_mode("hexlower");
let signature = crypt.hash_string_enc(&sb.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default()).unwrap_or_default();

println!("{}", signature);

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

http.set_request_header("Accept", "application/json");
http.set_request_header("Api-key", &api_key);
http.set_request_header("X-Signature", &signature);

let json_response = http.quick_get_str("https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status").unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", json_response);
println!("{}", http.last_status());

// Sample output:  

// 1605549542
