    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // This example will use private authentication (which is HTTP Basic authentication)
    // See the other Chilkat Shopify examples for OAuth2 authentication.
    // To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
    // Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.
    http.login = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY"
    http.password = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY"

    // We're going to do a POST  https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-04/graphql.json
    // Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.

    // The body of the request will be:
    //    {
    //        shop {
    //            id
    //            name
    //            description
    //            email
    //         }
    //     }

    // The above query is not JSON.  It looks like JSON, but it's actually not.
    // We'll just make it one line:

    var query: String? = "{ shop { id name description email } }"

    // My store name is "chilkat".  Use your store name here instead.
