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

' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
' Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
' (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
' This example loads the JSON access token file 
' saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

Dim jsonToken As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set jsonToken = Chilkat.NewJsonObject

success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleContacts.json")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print "Failed to load googleContacts.json"
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim gAuth As Chilkat.AuthGoogle
Set gAuth = Chilkat.NewAuthGoogle
gAuth.AccessToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token")

Dim rest As Chilkat.Rest
Set rest = Chilkat.NewRest

' Connect using TLS.

bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("www.google.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)

' Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access token)
Dim success As Boolean
success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

' ----------------------------------------------
' OK, the REST connection setup is completed..
' ----------------------------------------------

' To retrieve the contact, send the following:

' 	GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/{contactId}
' 	GData-Version: 3.0

success = rest.AddHeader("GData-Version","3.0")

Dim sbPath As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbPath = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder
success = sbPath.Append("/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/{contactId}")
' Get the contact having contactId = "7b1c7b6409e718a0"

numReplacements = sbPath.Replace("{contactId}","7b1c7b6409e718a0")

Dim sbResponseBody As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbResponseBody = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET",sbPath.GetAsString(),sbResponseBody)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' A successful response will have a status code equal to 200.
If (rest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) Then
    Debug.Print "response status code = "; rest.ResponseStatusCode
    Debug.Print "response status text = "; rest.ResponseStatusText
    Debug.Print "response header: "; rest.ResponseHeader
    Debug.Print "response body: "; sbResponseBody.GetAsString()
    Exit Sub
End If

' If the 200 response was received, then the contacts XML is contained
' in the response body.
Dim xml As Chilkat.Xml
Set xml = Chilkat.NewXml
success = xml.LoadSb(sbResponseBody,False)

' See below for a sample response body.
success = xml.SaveXml("qa_output/google_contact.xml")

' Now let's parse the XML...

    Debug.Print "email address: "; emailAddress
