This library serves as an C++ API client to the Bookkeeping backend. You can generate Doxygen pages by simply running cmake .. -DONLYDOC=1 and make.

Token management is not yet in place, therefore you need to manually extract it from HTTP request when you load Bookkeeping UI in your browser.

In Firefox, open menu, "More Tools" > "Web Developer Tools", switch to "Network" tab, filter by "XHR" requests. Click on of the requests and find token field in "Headers" tab.

During development, to increase validity of the token beyond server restarts, set JWT_SECRET field in /etc/o2.d/o2-bkp.env file to any string literal.

aliBuild build BookkeepingApiCpp --defaults o2-dataflow

Run alienv enter ... and then bookkeeping-api-cpp-example executable with following options:

• [url]: Bookkeeping API URL, default: http://localhost:4000/api
• token: JWT auth token (see JWT API token workaround section above)
• [run]: Run number to be used, default: 1

Generate the API client based on the OpenApi using openapi-generator.

From project root directory run:

openapi-generator-cli generate -g cpp-restsdk -i cpp-api-client/openapi-source.yaml -o cpp-api-client/src/cpprest-client/
