Hello, Developers.
I Need to fetch this API from Marvel Heroes using Swift 5 - MD5 or some type like that.
Marvel develper: https://developer.marvel.com
Authentication for Server-Side Applications
Server-side applications must pass two parameters in addition to the apikey parameter:
- ts - a timestamp (or other long string which can change on a request-by-request basis)
- hash - a md5 digest of the ts parameter, your private key and your public key (e.g. md5(ts+privateKey+publicKey)
For example, a user with a public key of "1234" and a private key of "abcd" could construct a valid call as follows:
http://gateway.marvel.com/v1/public/comics?ts=1&apikey=1234&hash=ffd275c5130566a2916217b101f26150
(the hash value is the md5 digest of 1abcd1234)And,
for a example only - I did it with JavaScript:
// Just a part of code...
...
import md5 from 'js-md5';
// Get yours APIs key at https://developer.marvel.com
const PUBLIC_KEY = ''; // your public key
const PRIVATE_KEY = ''; // youur private key
export default function Heroes({ navigation }) {
const [feedHeroes, setFeedHeroes] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
async function loadHeroesCharacters() {
const ts = Number(new Date());
const hash = md5.create();
hash.update(ts + PRIVATE_KEY + PUBLIC_KEY);
try {
const response = await fetch(
`https://gateway.marvel.com/v1/public/characters?ts=${ts}&orderBy=name&limit=10&apikey=${PUBLIC_KEY}&hash=${hash.h ex()}`
);
// continue
...
From now on, I really need to make the same thing with Swift 5. I need to use URLSession and should not to use a another dependecies (CocoaPods) like Alomofire to fetch this API.
But how I use the MD5 - Hashing with Swift 5?
Is there somebody who could help me, please?
Cheers,
Bruno.
