(Android™) curl with OAuth2 Client Credentials

See more CURL Examples

This example shows how to run a simple CURL command with an OAuth2 access token for authorization. We use CURL to retrieve a SharePoint site ID, and Chilkat automatically fetches the OAuth2 access token using the provided credentials.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.5.0 or greater.
