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

' See Get QuickBooks OAuth2 Access Token 
' for sample code showing how to obtain a QuickBooks access token for desktop apps.

' This example assumes we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token for QuickBooks.

' 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")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Failed to load qb-access-token.json") & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The access token JSON looks something like this:

' {
'   "expires_in": 3600,
'   "x_refresh_token_expires_in": 8726400,
'   "refresh_token": "L011546037639r ... 3vR2DrbOmg0Sdagw",
'   "access_token": "eyJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0 ... oETJEMbeggg",
'   "token_type": "bearer"
' }

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.OAuth2")

' Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.ClientId = "QUICKBOOKS-CLIENT-ID"
oauth2.ClientSecret = "QUICKBOOKS-CLIENT-SECRET"

' Get the "refresh_token"
oauth2.RefreshToken = jsonToken.StringOf("refresh_token")

' Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
success = oauth2.RefreshAccessToken()

' our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.

' Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
' The access + refresh tokens contained in this JSON will be needed for the next refresh.
