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

' First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject")
set jsonToken = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/qb-access-token.json")

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest")
set rest = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")

' Connect to the REST server.
bTls = 1
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
set sbAuth = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbAuth.Append("Bearer ")
success = sbAuth.Append(jsonToken.StringOf("access_token"))
rest.Authorization = sbAuth.GetAsString()

' --------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note: The above code to setup the initial REST connection
' can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
' If the connection is lost, the next REST method call will automatically
' reconnect if needed.
