On April 1, 2021, we are moving all of our QuotaGuard Support Documentation to

Please Update Your Support Bookmarks
Documentation for this article will be maintained at

Please click on the above link to ensure you are reading
the most recent and updated documentation.
Our documentation assumes that your QuotaGuard Static credentials are available in the form of a connection string in the QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL environment variable.
On CloudFoundry based platforms like IBM Bluemix, Pivotal and RedHat Openshift, this is not the case. so you need slightly different code to access your QuotaGuard Static credentials by extracting them from the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable.
The VCAP_SERVICES entry looks like the following:
{
"quotaguard": [
{
"name": "QuotaGuardInstance",
"label": "quotaguard",
"tags": [],
"plan": "starter",
"credentials": {
"QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL": "http://username:password@proxy.quotaguard.com:9293"
}
}
]
}
Extract the variable using the snippets below and then continue with our standard documented solutions.
In Java
String vcapServices = System.getenv("VCAP_SERVICES");
JsonRootNode root = new JdomParser().parse(vcapServices);
JsonNode quotaguardNode = root.getNode("quotaguard");
JsonNode credentials = quotaguardNode.getNode(0).getNode("credentials");
String proxyURL = credentials.getStringValue("QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL");
In Ruby
vcapServices = JSON.parse(ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'])
proxyURL = vcapServices['quotaguard'].first.dig('credentials', 'QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL')
In Python
service = json.loads(os.environ['VCAP_SERVICES'])['quotaguard'][0]
credentials = service['credentials']
proxy_url = credentials['QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL']
In Node.js/Javascript
let vcap_services = JSON.parse(process.env.VCAP_SERVICES)
let proxyUrl = vcap_services.quotaguard[0].credentials.QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL
In PHP
$vcap = json_decode(getenv("VCAP_SERVICES"),true);
$proxy_url = $vcap["quotaguard"][0]["credentials"]["QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL"];
