## Example programs
* sample/Example.java - how to use the API with minFraud service.
## API Documentation for minFraud service
```java
ccfs = new CreditCardFraudDetection(boolean s);
```
This creates a new CreditCardFraudDetection object and set isSecure to s if
isSecure is false then it uses regular HTTP. if isSecure is true then it uses
secure HTTPS.
```java
ccfb = new CreditCardFraudDetection.Builder()
```
Additionally you can use the Builder object to create a `CreditCardFraudDetection`
instance that either uses
the [JVM settings for proxies](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html)
(`useSystemProxies()`) or a custom proxy (specified by hostname and port, e.g. `useProxy("host", 3128)`).
Here is a full example:
```java
ccfs = new CreditCardFraudDetection.Builder().
useProxy("proxy-host", 6568).
build();
```
```java
ccfs.input(HashMap h);
```
Takes a Hashmap and uses it as input for the server See
http://dev.maxmind.com/minfraud for details on input fields.
```java
ccfs.query();
```
Queries the server with the fields passed to the input method and stores the
output.
```java
HashMap h = ccfs.output();
```
Returns the HashMap containing the output from the server. See
http://dev.maxmind.com/minfraud for details on output fields.
