HTTPS GET Request with Authorization Bearer Header

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local success = false

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
-- Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
http.auth_token = "Your access token"

-- Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
local responseText = http:quick_get_str("https://www.example.com/something")
if not http.last_method_success then
    -- This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
-- the response body.
print("Response status code = " .. http.last_status)
if http.last_status ~= 200 then
    -- Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    print(responseText)
    return
end

-- If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
-- if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json.emit_compact = true
json:load(responseText)
print(json:emit())
