Thank you for using learningBOX. LearningBOX will change the API specifications starting with the Ver. 2.19 release. This announcement is for customers who use API integration. Changes to the API Before change After change Depending on the implementation method, communication may fail Hard coding may be judged as invalid notification How to check the validity of PUSH notifications No. 1: Obtain the contents of the transmission. No. 2: Remove the parameter "hash" from the transmitted content and temporarily save it. No.3: Add "secret" to the back of the sent content without changing the order of the parameters. Part 4: After concatenating the parameter values of the sent content with "|", retrieve the hash value using sha256. No.5: Check if the hash value is consistent with the hash value obtained from the transmitted contents. Sample code for PUSH notification validity check /** * PUSH notification validity check * Sample notification content: * ------------------------------------------------ * { * 'param2': 'bbb',. * 'param3': 'ccc',. * 'hash': 'ae12de' * } * ------------------------------------------------ * * Parameters other than hash may be reordered or increased or decreased. */ Example of normal operation $payload = file_get_contents('php://input'); // Get notification contents $payload = json_decode($payload, true); // Array the notification contents $hash = $payload['hash']; // get hash value for verification unset($payload['hash']); // remove hash value for verification from sent content $payload = $payload + ['secret' => 'tatsuno123']; // add the secret key of the recipient after the notification content if($hash === hash('sha256', implode('|', $payload))) { // successful authentication of sent content } else { // content authentication failure } Example of failure $payload = file_get_contents('php://input'); // get notification contents $payload = json_decode($payload, true); // Array the notification content $hash = $payload['hash']; // Get hash value for verification $param1 = $payload['param1']; // get parameter 1 for verification $param2 = $payload['param2']; // get parameter 2 for verification $param3 = $payload['param3']; // get parameter 3 for verification $secret = 'tatsuno123'; // secret key for notification if($hash === hash('sha256', $param1 . '|' . $param2 . '|' . $param3 . '|' . $secret)) { // Successful authentication of sent content // Authentication may not pass if there is a change in the notification content. } else { // authentication of sent content failed } We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
