Overview

This page provides sample code for creating REST clients for various popular programming languages.

 

1. REST client code sample in JVM using JAVA

In this tutorial, we show how to create a RESTful Java client with Java built-in HTTP client library. It’s simple to use and good enough to perform basic operations for REST service.

 Java client to send a “POST” request to PAGA getTransactionDetails method on the merchant restful API, with json string will be as simple as below.

package restfulclient.main;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
 
import java.security.MessageDigest;
public class RestClient {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		 
		try {
			 
			URL url = new URL("http://www.mypaga.com/paga-webservices/merchant-rest/getTransactionDetails");
			HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
				conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
				conn.setDoOutput(true);
				
				conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
				conn.setRequestProperty("principal", "AA6EEB78-BD92-4D0B-A87D-E3DB46C53B70"); //business organization publicId
				conn.setRequestProperty("credentials", "password"); //business organization password
				StringBuilder sBuilder = new StringBuilder();
				sBuilder.append("09012939283"); //referenceNumber param value
				sBuilder.append("0123"); //business organization api-key
				
				conn.setRequestProperty("hash", RestClientTest.hashSHA512(sBuilder.toString(), 1000, true).toString());
				//input should be the data formatted as a JSON.
				String input = "{\"referenceNumber\":\"09012939283\"}"; 
		 
				OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
				os.write(input.getBytes());
				os.close();
	 
			if (conn.getResponseCode() != 201 && conn.getResponseCode() != 200) {
				throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : "
					+ conn.getResponseCode());
			}
	 
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
					(conn.getInputStream())));
	 
			String output;
			System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n");
			while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
				System.out.println(output);
			}
	 
			conn.disconnect();
	 
		  } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
	 
			e.printStackTrace();
	 
		  } catch (IOException e) {
	 
			e.printStackTrace();
	 
		 }
	}
	//hash sha-512 with some iterations
	public static Object hashSHA512(String message, int iterations, boolean returnHex) {
	
		try {
		
			MessageDigest mda = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512");
		
			byte [] digest = mda.digest(message.getBytes());
		
			for(int i = 0; i < iterations - 1; i++) {
			
				digest = mda.digest(digest);
			}
	
			if(returnHex) {
				return new String(Hex.encodeHex(digest));
			} else {
				return digest;
			}
		
		} catch(Exception e) {
			return null;
		}
	}
}
