Detailed Description

this class provides the REST client API for communication with the billwerk.com platform

This class requires one of the following options for billwerk.com's authentication and authorization:

• client_secret: the billwerk.com's client_secret
• token: the billwerk.com's token, if provided then the HTTP username, password, and client_secret are not needed and will be ignored.

After connecting, the BillwerkRestClient class will request a session token that will be used in further communication.

Member Function Documentation

constructor()

BillwerkRestClient::BillwerkRestClient::constructor	(	hash< auto >	options,
		*softbool	do_not_connect
	)

creates the object with the given options

Example:

BillwerkRestClient billwerk(
{
    "url": "https://cloud.billwerk.com/test",
    "client_id": "id",
    "client_secret": "8df3cc8be92d300edb9ff9b9a680d22eacbf2ee5"
});

Parameters

options

valid options are: client_secret (optional): the billwerk.com client_secret client_id (optional): the billwerk.com client_id additional_methods: Optional hash with more but not-HTTP-standardized methods to handle. It allows to create various HTTP extensions like e.g. WebDAV. The hash takes the method name as a key, and the value is a boolean True or False: indicating if the method requires a message body as well. Example: # add new HTTP methods for WebDAV; both of which require a message body {"additional_methods": {"PROPFIND": True, "MKCOL": True}}; connect_timeout: The timeout value in milliseconds for establishing a new socket connection (also can be a relative date-time value for clarity, ex: 20s) content_encoding: for possible values, see EncodingSupport; this sets the send encoding (if the "send_encoding" option is not set) and the requested response encoding (note that the RestClient class will only compress outgoing message bodies over CompressionThreshold bytes in size) data: a data serialization option; if not present defaults to "auto" default_path: The default path to use for new connections if a path is not otherwise specified in the connection URL default_port: The default port number to connect to if none is given in the URL error_passthru: if True then HTTP status codes indicating errors will not cause an HTTP-CLIENT-RECEIVE-ERROR exception to be raised, rather such responses will be passed through to the caller like any other response headers: an optional hash of headers to send with every request, these can also be overridden in request method calls http_version: Either '1.0' or '1.1' for the claimed HTTP protocol version compliancy in outgoing message headers max_redirects: The maximum number of redirects before throwing an exception (the default is 5) proxy: The proxy URL for connecting through a proxy send_encoding: a send data encoding option or the value "auto" which means to use automatic encoding; if not present defaults to no content-encoding on sent message bodies (note that the RestClient class will only compress outgoing message bodies over CompressionThreshold bytes in size) swagger: the path to a Swagger 2.0 REST schema file for API validation; only used if validator not provided (see the Swagger module) timeout: The timeout value in milliseconds (also can be a relative date-time value for clarity, ex: 30s) url: A string giving the URL to connect to; if not given then the target URL will be taken from any validator option, if given by calling AbstractRestSchemaValidator::getTargetUrl() validator: an AbstractRestSchemaValidator object to validate request and response messages; overrides swagger no_charset: if True no charset will be added to the Content-Type header (should be set to True if data are sent in the body). Default is True if not passed.

do_not_connect

if False (the default), then a connection will be immediately established to the remote server

Exceptions
