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

// Get the previously obtained access token.
// See Get Google Photos Access Token.

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonToken = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bool success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googlePhotos.json");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(jsonToken.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

http.AuthToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token");

// Build a JSON body that looks like this:
// {
//   "albumId": "ALBUM_ID",
//   "newMediaItems": [
//     {
//       "description": "ITEM_DESCRIPTION",
//       "simpleMediaItem": {

//       }
//     }
//    , ...
//   ]
// }

// Build the above JSON:
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("albumId","ALBUM_ID");
json.UpdateString("newMediaItems[0].description","Photo of Penguins");
json.UpdateString("newMediaItems[0].simpleMediaItem.uploadToken","UPLOAD_TOKEN");

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = http.PostJson("https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:batchCreate",json.Emit());
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the response status code.  Success is indicated by a status code of 200.
Debug.WriteLine("response status code: " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));

json.Load(resp.BodyStr);
json.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
