Demonstrates how to get the Google OAuth2 v3 userinfo.

Important: Make sure the OAuth2 access token included "profile" in the list of scopes.

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

-- It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
-- This example loads the JSON access token file
-- originally obtained by this example: Get Google People API OAuth2 Access Token
-- or refreshed by this example: Refresh Google People API OAuth2 Access Token

local jsonToken = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
local success = jsonToken:load_file("qa_data/tokens/googlePeople.json")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load googleContacts.json")
