Re: Has anyone worked with Braintree using HTTPAPI -- MIDRANGE-L

this is just my guess but the way I see it you are plain out of luck using
RPG. This is not HTTP.

The way this appears to be you have to install a server package which is
what talks to Braintree. You might be able to install the Java Package on
the iSeries but my bet is it will not be easy but that still leaves you
with the client part which is iOS (Apple) or Android only. Everything going
back and forth to the server is encrypted so it not like you can just talk
to the server.

You could set the server side up on a Windows box. The problem is the
client. They would have to have a package written for the iSeries or at
least written in C and with the encryption good luck with that.

Maybe Braintree has some other way to communicate with the Server. If not,
I think you are out of luck. My opinion only.

I have used HTTPAPI to consume many different web services and was hoping
to use it again but this time the gateway (Braintree) does not provide a
web service as such but they provide API's

Ok before I go on please let me state I am not knowledgeable on accessing
their site to retrieve information using this type of interface or my
terminology may be wrong and therefore confusing.

Braintree offer a set of client libraries which a list of can be viewed
here:

They also offer a java option which is where I am heading at the moment as
I have also used java calls from RPG very successfully.

I am not after a third party solution.
I do not want a python or PHP or other flavour solution - well not at the
moment :-)

Can anyone point me in the right direction to at least understand what is
needed to be able to use their API's from RPG please.

Thanks for any assistance
