; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
; Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
; (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
; This example loads the JSON access token file 
; saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

; ----------------------------------------------
; OK, the REST connection setup is completed..

; To retrieve the contacts, we need to send the following:
