How to Read Information via SUST API

v1.01. Written by: Zhang Cheng.

This system uses asymmetric encryption for data integration. RSA public and private keys are generated with OpenSSL and used for data encryption and decryption. The integration process is as follows.

1. Obtain the Public Key for Read API

Register in the student affairs system. The key is provided by the Information Section of the Student Affairs Department. You need to provide the application name, application URL, and required API names. The application URL is not required during testing, but it is required for production launch.

2. Obtain the Application ID for Read API

After application registration is complete, an application number is generated at the same time. This value is used as ClientId.

3. Read API Integration Endpoint

The unified read API endpoint is:

  • Public network: domain/openapi/api/index

  • Private network: http://ip/xgb/index.php/openapi/api/index

Request method: GET.

4. Read API Integration Method

Request parameters:

Parameter

Required

Description

ClientId

Yes

Application ID

AuthStr

Yes

Permission and timestamp verification code. See below.

AuthStr is a global authentication variable. It contains information such as the API name and timestamp verification. Generate it as follows:

  • Build the string as ApiName&timestamp.

  • Encrypt the string with the public key.

  • Run base64_encode on the encrypted value before transmission.

Example: to access the student list, the API name is StudentList, and the current timestamp is assumed to be 1730189433.

  1. Build the string: StudentList&1730189433.

  2. Encrypt with the public key: sadsadjsldjljflcvjlcvjlxcvjlxcvjlxcvj.

  3. Encode with base64_encode: fgldjflgjfdlgjdljasdhkjasdhas.

  4. Access:

openapi/api/index?ClientId=xxxx&AuthStr=fgldjflgjfdlgjdljasdhkjasdhas&other_parameters

The server verifies permissions and whether the timestamp has expired. If an error occurs, the corresponding error message is displayed.
