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

http = chilkat2.Http()

# Use your previously obtained access token here:
# See the following examples for getting an access token:
#    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
#    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
#    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
#    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

http.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"

sbResponse = chilkat2.StringBuilder()

# Sends:  GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders
# Note: It is also possible to use the literal string "me" for the current logged-on user.
# For example: GET /me/mailFolders
http.ClearUrlVars()
http.SetUrlVar("userPrincipalName","chilkatsoft@outlook.com")
success = http.QuickGetSb("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{$userPrincipalName}/mailFolders",sbResponse)
if ((success != True) and (http.LastStatus == 0)):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.LoadSb(sbResponse)
json.EmitCompact = False

print("Status code = " + str(http.LastStatus))
if (http.LastStatus != 200):
    print(json.Emit())
    print("Failed.")

print(json.Emit())
print("----")

# In my test case, this is the result (see below)
# Apparently, this lists folders without listing subfolders (aka child folders)
# There's another REST API call to list child folders.

# To iterate over the folders:
i = 0
numFolders = json.SizeOfArray("value")
while i < numFolders :
    json.I = i
    print(json.StringOf("value[i].displayName"))
    i = i + 1

# The output from the above loop:

# 	Archive
# 	Deleted Items
# 	Drafts
# 	Inbox
# 	Junk Email
# 	Outbox
# 	Sent Items

# The Microsoft Graph Outlook Mail API lets you read, create, and send messages and attachments, 
# view and respond to event messages, and manage folders that are secured by Azure Active Directory 
# in Office 365. It also provides the same functionality in Microsoft accounts specifically
