-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- Insert your Bearer token here:
local accessToken = "VOICEBASE_TOKEN"

-- Add the access (bearer) token to the request, which is a header
-- having the following format:
-- Authorization: Bearer <userAccessToken>
local sbAuth = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
sbAuth:append("Bearer ")

-- The response should be JSON, even if an error.
