AutoIt

Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON). AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

; This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

; It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oGAuth = ObjCreate("Chilkat.AuthGoogle")
; Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
; See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
; See Get Access Token using a P12 File

$oRest = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Rest")

; Connect using TLS.
Local $bAutoReconnect = True
$bSuccess = $oRest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,True,$bAutoReconnect)

; Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
$bSuccess = $oRest.SetAuthGoogle($oGAuth)

; Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
; The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
; to make a better example..
