LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loOauth2

lnSuccess = 0

* To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

* This should match the Site URL configured for your Facebook APP, such as "http://localhost:3017/"
loOauth2.ListenPort = 3017

loOauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth"
loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"

* Replace this with your actual App ID
loOauth2.ClientId = "APP_ID"

* Set the Scope to a comma-separated list of permissions the app wishes to request.
* See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/ for a full list of permissions.
loOauth2.Scope = "public_profile,user_friends,email,user_posts,user_likes,user_photos"

* This is for Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)

loOauth2.CodeChallenge = 1
loOauth2.CodeChallengeMethod = "S256"

* Begin the OAuth2 Authorization code flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
lcUrl = loOauth2.StartAuth()
IF (loOauth2.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "url = " + lcUrl

* Launch the default browser on the system and navigate to the url.
* The LaunchBrowser method was added in Chilkat v10.1.2.
lnSuccess = loOauth2.LaunchBrowser(lcUrl)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Wait for the user to approve or deny authorization in the browser.
lnNumMsWaited = 0
DO WHILE (lnNumMsWaited < 90000) AND (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3)
    loOauth2.SleepMs(100)
    lnNumMsWaited = lnNumMsWaited + 100
ENDDO

* If the browser does not respond within the specified time, AuthFlowState will be:
* 
* 1: Waiting for Redirect – The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the browser's redirect request.
* 2: Waiting for Final Response – The thread is awaiting the final access token response.
* In either case, cancel the background task initiated by StartAuth.

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3) THEN
    loOauth2.Cancel()
    ? "No response from the browser!"
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Check AuthFlowState to determine if authorization was granted, denied, or failed:
* 
* 3: Success – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.
* 4: Access Denied – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
* 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
