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

loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

* This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
* The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
* Make sure when defining your application (i.e. "My Applications" at  https://app.constantcontact.com/pages/dma/portal/)
* that the Redirect URI is exactly this:  "http://localhost:3017/".   You may use any port number as long as it agrees
* with the ListenPort here.  It is important to use "http" and not "https" in the callback URI.  The trailing "/" is also important.
loOauth2.ListenPort = 3017

loOauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://api.cc.email/v3/idfed"
loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://idfed.constantcontact.com/as/token.oauth2"

* Replace these with actual values.
loOauth2.ClientId = "CLIENT_KEY"
loOauth2.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"

* Add one or more SPACE separated scopes
loOauth2.Scope = "account_read account_update contact_data campaign_data"

* Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
lcUrl = loOauth2.StartAuth()
IF (loOauth2.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? lcUrl

* Launch the system's default browser navigated to the URL.
lnSuccess = loOauth2.LaunchBrowser(lcUrl)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Now wait for the authorization.
* We'll wait for a max of 30 seconds.
lnNumMsWaited = 0
DO WHILE (lnNumMsWaited < 30000) AND (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3)
    loOauth2.SleepMs(100)
    lnNumMsWaited = lnNumMsWaited + 100
ENDDO

* If there was no response from the browser within 30 seconds, then 
* the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
* 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
* 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
* In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3) THEN
    loOauth2.Cancel()
    ? "No response from the browser!"
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
* The possible AuthFlowState values are:
* 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 5) THEN
    ? "OAuth2 failed to complete."
    ? loOauth2.FailureInfo
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 4) THEN
    ? "OAuth2 authorization was denied."
    ? loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState <> 3) THEN
    ? "Unexpected AuthFlowState:" + STR(loOauth2.AuthFlowState)
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "OAuth2 authorization granted!"
? "Access Token = " + loOauth2.AccessToken

* Get the full JSON response:
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.Load(loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse)
loJson.EmitCompact = 0

* The JSON response looks like this:

* {
*   "access_token": "aEr4czHReESHUGcc2LRknzsMxUbW",
*   "refresh_token": "s2qH27ikM7r3Ia0LrZGDOIgKw0bubUotBdJ7fTtc7y",
*   "token_type": "Bearer"
* }

? loJson.Emit()

* Save the JSON to a file for future requests.
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
