semantics3-classicasp is a Classic ASP VBScript code sample for accessing the Semantics3 Products API, which provides structured information, including pricing histories, for a large number of products.
Note: This is just a code example for constructing an OAuth request to the Semantics3 API and is not a library.
See https://www.semantics3.com for more information.
Quickstart guide: https://www.semantics3.com/quickstart API documentation can be found at https://www.semantics3.com/docs/
semantics3-classicasp can be cloned from this link:
$ git clone git@github.com:Semantics3/semantics3-classicasp.git- IIS (or IIS Express)
- VBScriptOAuth (http://scottdesapio.com/VBScriptOAuth/)
In order to use the client, you must have both an API key and an API secret. To obtain your key and secret, you need to first create an account at https://www.semantics3.com/ You can access your API access credentials from the user dashboard at https://dashboard.semantics3.com.
This code sample uses Classic ASP VBScript OAuth library by Scott DeSapio (http://scottdesapio.com/VBScriptOAuth/) to make the OAuth authentication with Semantics3 Products API. Then it constructs the JSON query, queries the products endpoint and prints the API reponse to the web page.
