Re: Has anyone worked with Braintree using HTTPAPI

If this is similar to other payment gateways you won't need a client like
HTTPAPI or GETURI. The only reason I would see using this in this
scenario is if you had to grab some sort of extra token or key from them
for validation. But that doesn't appear to be the case.

How other payment portals that I have worked with do this:

1. You generate a unique ID (or token) for the transaction on your webpage
when the use clicks "pay". In this case they're calling it a token.

2. You send the user to the 3rd party payment portal (which looks to be an
iFrame in this case) along with the ID/token. At this time, some portals
will make a quick call back to your server with your ID/token to make sure
you initiated the request.

3. The user enters their CC info, etc on the 3rd party portal.

4. When done the 3rd party portal passes control back to your web app.
You check that the token is still the same (and possibly other things such
as a unique app id for your company) as well as the payment status.

At least it LOOKs similar to that. Just hope that your web app has up to
date SSL certificates. I'm sure that's a prerequisite here as it has been
on others.

I think they're making it look a little to complicated.

Firstly has anyone interacted with Braintree using RPG ? (Braintree are a
division of PayPal providing a payment gateway)

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
