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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
// Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
http.AuthToken = "Your access token";

// Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
string responseText = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.example.com/something");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    // This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
// the response body.
Debug.WriteLine("Response status code = " + Convert.ToString(http.LastStatus));
if (http.LastStatus != 200) {
    // Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
    return;
}

// If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
// if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.EmitCompact = true;
json.Load(responseText);
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
