' This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

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

Dim gAuth As Chilkat.AuthGoogle
Set gAuth = Chilkat.NewAuthGoogle
' Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
' See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
' See Get Access Token using a P12 File

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

' Connect using TLS.

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

' Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

' Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
' The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
' to make a better example..
Dim jsonReqBody As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set jsonReqBody = Chilkat.NewJsonObject
success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1,"name","chilkat-bucket-c")
success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1,"kind","storage#bucket")
success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1,"location","US")
success = jsonReqBody.AddObjectAt(-1,"versioning")


Set pObjVersioning = jsonReqBody.ObjectOf("versioning")
success = pObjVersioning.AddBoolAt(-1,"enabled",True)

' Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
Debug.Print jsonReqBody.Emit()

' Add the required query parameter.
' See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
success = rest.AddQueryParam("project","chilkattest-1050")

' Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json; charset=UTF-8")


jsonResponseStr = rest.FullRequestString("POST","/storage/v1/b",jsonReqBody.Emit())
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Show the JSON response.  (See below for a sample JSON response.)
