This article provides an example of a message that is encrypted, compressed, and encoded.

Note that the

• account ("brand"),
• user,
• password, and
• (optional) encryption tags

must be populated with the values that are provided by Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional).

TIP: When dealing with encryption and compression, white space counts!

Start with the following message:

<GridRequest xmlns="http://partner.informz.net/aapi/2009/08/">
       <Password>password</Password>
       <Brand id="1234">My Brand</Brand>

                     </ReturnFields>
              </Grid>
       </Grids>
</GridRequest>

Payload compression

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>

Result

Here is the result from the compression:

                                etc.

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

                                (then continue with the compressed message from above)

                                etc.

Base-64 string conversion

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

NOTE: If you're not using encryption, skip the next two steps (encryption and string conversion) and refer to Result (compression only), below.

Encryption

Thrive Marketing Professional encrypts using this key:

1D432EBF6AF4022F603516F17902277A81AFC63CE8ABCDEF

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

                                etc.

Base-64 string conversion

Convert it to a base-64 string:

And replace the payload of the XML message:
