AutoIt Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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.

;  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

;  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..
