curl with OAuth2 Client Credentials

See more CURL Examples

This example shows how to run a simple CURL command with an OAuth2 access token for authorization. We use CURL to retrieve a SharePoint site ID, and Chilkat automatically fetches the OAuth2 access token using the provided credentials. Delphi ActiveX

// The placeholders {{sharepoint_hostname}} and {{site_name}} represent variables that must be defined before execution.
// When DoYourThing runs the curl command, it automatically substitutes these placeholders with their corresponding values.
// Below are the values assigned to these variables:

httpCurl.SetVar('site_name','test');

// Run the curl command.
