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

// This example assumes a previously obtained an access token
Chilkat.OAuth2 oauth2 = new Chilkat.OAuth2();
oauth2.AccessToken = "FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN";

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:
bool success = rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,true,true);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2);

// Gets the 1st page in the user's feed.
string responseJson = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/v2.7/me/feed");

    // Prepare for getting the next page in the feed.
    // We can continue using the same REST object.
    // If already connected, we'll continue using the existing connection.
    // Otherwise, a new connection will automatically be made if needed.
