Appendix > hash Algorithm

hash Algorithm

Custom HTTP headers are used for verifying payloads. There are 3 HTTP headers required for every call: pom-username, pom-nonce, pom-hash.

The value for pom-username is provided upon account approval. At that time you will also be provided with a password which will be needed in calculating the value of pom-hash.

The pom-nonce is case-sensitive and must be a nonce which minimally conforms to the following requirements:

  1. A character string of at least 8 characters.
  2. Randomly generated.
  3. Used for one-and-only-one call.

The pom-hash is calculated by calculating the SHA-256 value of a string composed by concatenating the following UTF-8 encoded strings in the order shown here:

  1. pom-nonce
  2. :
  3. pom-username
  4. :
  5. Account Password
  6. :
  7. Payload Body

Payload Body by Request Method

The payload body for GET is empty unless there is a search clause or id. If there is a search clause, then the search clause excluding the ? is the payload body. If there is an id, then the id is the payload body.

The payload body for POST and PUT is the body of the submission exactly as submitted.

The payload body for DELETE is empty.

Examples

pom-nonce for all examples is aChw4QfmwA.

pom-username for all examples is exampleUser.

Account Password for all examples is 1UserPass4Example.

GET Request Method

Appendix > Extension Affordances

Extension Affordances

Service providers can choose to build an extension to the Point Of Marketing® API. Some of these providers may make use of additional data within existing calls or need to have new calls made available.

The additional elements used by a specific provider must be obtained by that provider. API support is available only for API-questions not specific to a particular service provider.

Developers can be assured that all API Extensions conform with the guidelines set forth below.

Existing Method Calls

GET & DELETE Methods

To allow extension developers to include additional data in method calls, header elements may include additional headers of this form:

pom-extensionIdentifier-extension-field-name

For example, if an extensionIdentifier is eg, then for the field custom-field-name, the additional header would be pom-eg-custom-field-name.

The extension-field-name must consist of alphanumeric characters, the dash (-), or the underscore (_) only and will be treated as case-insensitive.

POST & PUT Methods

For these methods, the additional header options permitted for GET & DELETE are also permitted. When used, these should be consistent with those used for the GET & DELETE methods.

Additionally, POST & PUT support custom fields of this form:

extensionIdentifier-extensionFieldName

For example, if an extensionIdentifier is eg, then for the field customFieldName, the additional parameter would be eg-customFieldName.

The extensionFieldName must consist of alphanumeric characters, the dash (-), or the underscore (_) only and will be treated as case-sensitive. Furthermore, the extensionFieldName should follow a camelCase naming convention for consistency with the rest of the API.

Custom Resource Calls

Each extension will be provided with an extensionIdentifier. For a given extensionIdentifier, supported calls to the custom resource extensionCustomResource with a resource id of extensionCustomResourceId must be of the following formats:

Add/Insert An Object
POST

/extensionIdentifier-extensionCustomResource
