Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON). Go

    success := false

    // This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

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

    gAuth := chilkat.NewAuthGoogle()
    // Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
    // See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
    // See Get Access Token using a P12 File

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect using TLS.
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect)

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

    // Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
    // The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
    // to make a better example..
    jsonReqBody := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    jsonReqBody.AppendString("name","chilkat-bucket-c")
    jsonReqBody.AppendString("kind","storage#bucket")
    jsonReqBody.AppendString("location","US")

    objVersioning := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    jsonReqBody.AppendObject2("versioning",objVersioning)
    objVersioning.AppendBool("enabled",true)

    // Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
    fmt.Println(*jsonReqBody.Emit())

    // Add the required query parameter.
    // See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
    success = rest.AddQueryParam("project","chilkattest-1050")

    // Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
    success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json; charset=UTF-8")

    jsonResponseStr := rest.FullRequestString("POST","/storage/v1/b",*jsonReqBody.Emit())
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        gAuth.DisposeAuthGoogle()
        rest.DisposeRest()
        jsonReqBody.DisposeJsonObject()
        objVersioning.DisposeJsonObject()
        return
    }

    // Show the JSON response.  (See below for a sample JSON response.)
