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

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
; For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
; The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
; The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
; Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
; for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

; If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
; Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
$oHttp.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
$oHttp.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
$oHttp.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
$oHttp.NtlmAuth = True

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
; If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
; establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Indicate that we want a JSON reply
$oHttp.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose"
$oHttp.AcceptCharset = "utf-8"

; If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Briefing 02032017')" where "teamA" is the name of the site.

; To get the number of items in the folder:
Local $itemCount = $oJson.IntOf("d.ItemCount")
ConsoleWrite("Number of items: " & $itemCount & @CRLF)

; The full JSON response looks like the following:
