Making the Call – Higher Logic

Here is an example of a message that is encrypted, compressed, and encoded. The account, user, password, and encryption tags (if used) must be populated with the values supplied by Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional). When dealing with encryption and compression, white space counts!

Start with this message:

Here is the payload that must be gzip-compressed (just the Grid node from above, with white space removed for the example, with a length of 451):

<Grid type="mailing_instance" xmlns="http://partner.informz.net/aapi/2009/08/"><Conditions><Condition>
<Single><DataElement>Mailing_Date</DataElement><DataValue>2011‑09‑01</DataValue>
<Comparator>GTE</Comparator></Single></Condition><Condition><Single>
<DataElement>Mailing_Date</DataElement><DataValue>2011‑09‑02</DataValue><Comparator>LT</Comparator>
</Single></Condition></Conditions><ReturnFields><DataElement>Count</DataElement></ReturnFields></Grid>

Here is the result from the compression:

[0] 31 byte

[1] 139 byte

[2] 8 byte

[3] 0 byte

[4] 0 byte

[5] 0 byte

[6] 0 byte

[7] 0 byte

[8] 4 byte

[9] 0 byte

[10] 236 byte

etc.

[315] 60 byte

[316] 195 byte

[317] 1 byte

[318] 0 byte

[319] 0 byte

Additionally, a 4-byte header containing the length of the original string (451) needs to prefix the message:

[0] 195 byte

[1] 1 byte

[2] 0 byte

[3] 0 byte

(then continue with the compressed message from above)

[4] 31 byte

[5] 139 byte

[6] 8 byte

[7] 0 byte

[8] 0 byte

[9] 0 byte

[10] 0 byte

[11] 0 byte

[12] 4 byte

[13] 0 byte

[14] 236 byte

etc.

[319] 60 byte

[320] 195 byte

[321] 1 byte

[322] 0 byte

[323] 0 byte

Finally, that byte array is converted to a base-64 string (compression is finished at this point):

If not using encryption, skip the next two steps.

Thrive Marketing Professional encrypts using this key: 1D432EBF6AF4022F603516F17902277A81AFC63CE8ABCDEF:

(Your encryption key will be different and provided to you upon request)

[0] 1 byte

[1] 100 byte

[2] 179 byte

[3] 10 byte

[4] 52 byte

[5] 92 byte

[6] 103 byte

[7] 151 byte

[8] 202 byte

[9] 98 byte

[10] 137 byte

[11] 125 byte

[12] 12 byte

[13] 170 byte

[14] 51 byte

etc.

[435] 11 byte

[436] 96 byte

[437] 91 byte

[438] 177 byte

[439] 167 byte

Convert it to a base-64 string:
