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

* This example sends the following sample PUT request to create (or replace) a new inventory item.

* PUT https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/inventory_item/GP-Cam-01
* { 
* "availability":
*     { 
*     "shipToLocationAvailability":
*         { 
*         "quantity": 50
*         }
*     },
* "condition": "NEW",
* "product":
*     { 
*     "title": "GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam",
*     "description": "New GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam. Unopened box.",
*     "aspects": {
*         "Brand" :["GoPro"],
*         "Type" : ["Helmet/Action"],
*         "Storage Type" : ["Removable"],
*         "Recording Definition" : ["High Definition"],
*         "Media Format" : ["Flash Drive (SSD)"],
*         "Optical Zoom" : ["10x"]
*       },
*     "imageUrls": [
*         "http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1000.jpg",
*         "http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1001.jpg",
*         "http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1002.jpg"
*       ]
*     }
* }

* First, generate the JSON using this code:
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.EmitCompact = 0

loJson.UpdateNumber("availability.shipToLocationAvailability.quantity","50")
loJson.UpdateString("condition","NEW")
loJson.UpdateString("product.title","GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam")
loJson.UpdateString("product.description","New GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam. Unopened box.")
loJson.UpdateString("product.aspects.Brand[0]","GoPro")
loJson.UpdateString("product.aspects.Type[0]","Helmet/Action")
loJson.UpdateString('product.aspects."Storage Type"[0]',"Removable")
loJson.UpdateString('product.aspects."Recording Definition"[0]',"High Definition")
loJson.UpdateString('product.aspects."Media Format"[0]',"Flash Drive (SSD)")
loJson.UpdateString('product.aspects."Optical Zoom"[0]',"10x")
loJson.UpdateString("product.imageUrls[0]","http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1000.jpg")
loJson.UpdateString("product.imageUrls[1]","http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1001.jpg")
loJson.UpdateString("product.imageUrls[2]","http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/182196556219-0-1/s-l1002.jpg")

* Show the JSON to be sent:
? loJson.Emit()

* Use a previously obtained user token.  The token should look something like this:
* "v^1.1#i^1#r^0#p^3#I^3#f^0#t^H4sIAAAAAAAAAOVXa2wUVRTu9k ... 89xuCWYREAAA=="
lcAccessToken = "EBAY_ACCESS_TOKEN"

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* This example uses the sandbox.  
* Change "api.sandbox.ebay.com" to "api.ebay.com" to use the production system.
* Note: The last part of the url is the SKU.  In this URL, the SKU is "GP-Cam-01".
lcUrl = "https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/inventory_item/GP-Cam-01"
loJson.EmitCompact = 1

* Set your Content-Language to whatever is desired.
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Content-Language","en-US")

* Add our access token to the request, which is a header
* having the following format:
* Authorization: Bearer <userAccessToken>
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbAuth = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbAuth.Append("Bearer ")
loSbAuth.Append(lcAccessToken)
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Authorization",loSbAuth.GetAsString())

loHttp.Accept = "application/json"
loHttp.AllowGzip = 0

lcStrResponse = loHttp.PutText(lcUrl,loJson.Emit(),"utf-8","application/json",0,0)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbAuth
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response status code = " + STR(loHttp.LastStatus)

IF (loHttp.LastStatus <> 204) THEN
    ? lcStrResponse
    ? "Failed"
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbAuth
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* On success (status code = 204), there is no output payload (strResponse will be empty).
? "Inventory item successfully created."
