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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Adds the "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" header.
http.auth_token = "<access_token>"

-- Note: The access token is valid for a short amount of time.  Perhaps 1 hour.
-- The access token is used in the "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" header in subsequent requests until it expires.
-- Your application would then need to get a new access token, and so on..
-- To get an access token, see How to Get a MyInvois Access Token
