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

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Calendar scope.

// In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonToken = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bool success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCalendar.json");
if (jsonToken.HasMember("access_token") == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine("No access token found.");
    return;
}

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
http.AuthToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token");

// Let's get the primary calendar.
string jsonResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList/primary");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(jsonResponse);

// A sample response is:

// {
//  "kind": "calendar#calendarListEntry",
//  "etag": "\"1465249947472000\"",
//  "id": "support@chilkatcloud.com",
//  "summary": "support@chilkatcloud.com",
//  "timeZone": "America/Chicago",
//  "colorId": "14",
//  "backgroundColor": "#9fe1e7",

//  "selected": true,
//  "accessRole": "owner",
//  "defaultReminders": [
//   {
//    "method": "popup",

//  ],
//  "notificationSettings": {
//   "notifications": [
//    {

//     "type": "eventResponse",

// It can be parsed like this:
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.Load(jsonResponse);

Debug.WriteLine("kind: " + json.StringOf("kind"));

// Examine the notification settings, if any..
