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

; Note: Define your Twitter apps at https://apps.twitter.com/

; We're going to send an HTTPS POST that looks like this:

; POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
; Host: api.twitter.com
; User-Agent: My Twitter App v1.0.23
; Authorization: Basic eHZ6MWV2RlM0d0VFUFRHRUZQSEJvZzpMOHFxOVBaeVJn

; grant_type=client_credentials

; Update these values with your consumer key and secret (also known as API key and API secret).
Local $sConsumerKey = "TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"
Local $sConsumerSecret = "TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET"

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oHttp.BasicAuth = True
$oHttp.Login = $sConsumerKey
$oHttp.Password = $sConsumerSecret

$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq.AddParam "grant_type","client_credentials"

Local $oResp = $oHttp.PostUrlEncoded("https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token",$oReq)
If ($oHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("Response Status Code: " & $oResp.StatusCode & @CRLF)

If ($oResp.StatusCode <> 200) Then
    ConsoleWrite("Expected a 200 response status code for success." & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; We should get a JSON response like this:

; {
;     "token_type":"bearer",
;     "access_token":"..."
; }

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJson.Load($oResp.BodyStr)

ConsoleWrite("Access token = " & $oJson.StringOf("access_token") & @CRLF)
