Verify (License System)

If you own and use the license system within Shadow Store, then you can use this api route.

The verification API returns data about the license and product based on the input license key via the request header.
You will be using a POST method to make a request to example.com/api/verify and putting the license key inside the header.

Examples​

WIP

We are still writing out all the examples!

NodeJs Fetch​

Please note that the Fetch API was added to native Node.Js in version 18; however, you can use the NPM package node-fetch for older versions.

const response = await fetch('https://example.com/api/verify', {
	method: 'POST',
	headers: {
		'content-type': 'application/json',
		key: 'LICENSE_KEY', // Should be a string
	},
	signal: AbortSignal.timeout(10000), // 10 second timeout
});

if (!response.ok) {
	console.log(
		`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText || 'Internal Server Error'}`
	);
	process.exit(); // Stop application from running
}
const licenseData = await response.json();

if (!licenseData.success) {
	console.log(`Invalid Site License Key | Error Message:\n${licenseData.msg}`);
	process.exit();
}
if (licenseData.data.product.id !== PRODUCT_ID) {
	// PRODUCT_ID must be a number, not a string!
	console.log(
		`Invalid Site License Key | Error Message: Using license key for a different product.`
	);
	process.exit();
}

NodeJs Native HTTP​

Note: Using fetch is recommended over this for applications that allow it!
