This example shows how to get a new eBay REST API access token when the original is close to expiration. Delphi DLL

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// The previously fetched eBay access token looks like this:

// {
//   "access_token": "v^1.1#i^1# ... HwSAAA=",
//   "expires_in": 7200,
//   "refresh_token": "v^1.1#i^1# ... FXjEyODQ=",

//   "token_type": "User Access Token"
