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

* See Get GMail SMTP Access Token 
* for sample code showing how to obtain a GMail SMTP access token for desktop apps.

* It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token for GMail (one with a scope for sending email).

loJsonToken = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
lnSuccess = loJsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_gmailSmtp.json")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Failed to load _gmailSmtp.json"
    RELEASE loJsonToken
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The access token JSON looks something like this:

* 	{ 
* 	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
* 	 "token_type": "Bearer",
* 	 "expires_in": 3600,
* 	 "refresh_token": "1/lEe5abcdNJ77eOSDBabcdkQGVmDalkwabcdR2Hatbo"
* 	}
* 

loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token"

* Replace these with actual values.
loOauth2.ClientId = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID"
loOauth2.ClientSecret = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET"

* Get the "refresh_token"
loOauth2.RefreshToken = loJsonToken.StringOf("refresh_token")

* Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
lnSuccess = loOauth2.RefreshAccessToken()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loJsonToken
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
* our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
loJsonToken.UpdateString("access_token",loOauth2.AccessToken)

* Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
