C++ Stripe: Create a PII Token

Back to Index

Creates a single use token that wraps the details of personally identifiable information (PII). This token can be used in place of a personal_id_number in the Account Update API method. These tokens can only be used once.

Documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/api/curl#create_pii_token

CURL Command

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens \
   -u STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: \
   -d pii[personal_id_number]=000000000 \
   -X POST

C++ Example

#include <CkRest.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkRest rest;
    bool success;

    //  URL: https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens
    bool bTls = true;
    int port = 443;
    bool bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("api.stripe.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "ConnectFailReason: " << rest.get_ConnectFailReason() << "\r\n";
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    rest.SetAuthBasic("STRIPE_SECRET_KEY","");

    rest.AddQueryParam("pii[personal_id_number]","000000000");

    const char *strResponseBody = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/v1/tokens");
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkJsonObject jsonResponse;
    jsonResponse.Load(strResponseBody);

    const char *id = 0;
    const char *object = 0;
    bool client_ip;
    int created;
    bool livemode;
    const char *type = 0;
    bool used;

    id = jsonResponse.stringOf("id");
    object = jsonResponse.stringOf("object");
    client_ip = jsonResponse.IsNullOf("client_ip");
    created = jsonResponse.IntOf("created");
    livemode = jsonResponse.BoolOf("livemode");
    type = jsonResponse.stringOf("type");
    used = jsonResponse.BoolOf("used");
    }
