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

# This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
# scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

# In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
# the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
sbToken = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8")

# ---- Step 1
# Create a JSON that contains the following information, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

# {
#   "name": "[BUCKET_NAME]",
#   "location": "[BUCKET_LOCATION]",
#   "storageClass": "[STORAGE_CLASS]"
# }

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.UpdateString("name","chilkat-ocean")
json.UpdateString("location","us")
json.UpdateString("storageClass","multi_regional")

# ---- Step 2
# Send a POST equivalent to this curl command

# curl -X POST --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
#      -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
#      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
#      "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b?project=[PROJECT_ID]"

http = chilkat2.Http()
http.AuthToken = sbToken.GetAsString()

http.SetUrlVar("project_id","chilkat-176611")
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b?project={$project_id}"
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostJson3(url,"application/json",json)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

responseCode = resp.StatusCode
if (responseCode == 401):
    print(resp.BodyStr)
    print("If invalid credentials, then it is likely the access token expired.")
    print("Your app should automatically fetch a new access token and re-try.")

    sys.exit()

print("Response code: " + str(responseCode))
print("Response body")
print(resp.BodyStr)

# A successful response looks like this:
# Response code: 200
# Response body
# {
#  "kind": "storage#bucket",

# Parse the JSON response:
jsonResp = chilkat2.JsonObject()
jsonResp.Load(resp.BodyStr)

print("name: " + jsonResp.StringOf("name"))
print("timeCreated: " + jsonResp.StringOf("timeCreated"))

# Parse the date/time created.
dt = chilkat2.CkDateTime()
dt.SetFromTimestamp(jsonResp.StringOf("timeCreated"))
