getToken()

getToken() checks if a token exists for a plaintext value. If the token exists, it is returned. Otherwise the method returns null.

Note

This method is overloaded to handle value and customData arrays.

!yaml

public string getToken (string value, string customData, string table) public string[] getToken (string[] values, string[] customData, string table)

Parameters	Data Types	Descriptions
value	string or string[]	A plaintext value, or an array of values.
customData	string or string[]	Customer-specific data or an array of customer-specific data. Note: For My SQL, if the customData parameter is null or empty, then the getToken() API returns results for all customData values in token vault.
table	string	This is the Token Vault name and it must be in CAPITAL LETTERS.

An array of the token(s).

Passes an exception if:

A table is missing, input value is null, the values and customData arrays are not the same size.
There is a problem accessing the keys on the Key Manager.
A customData element is too long.
