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

* This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
* Google Calendar scope.

* In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
* token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
loJsonToken = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')

    ? "No access token found."
    RELEASE loJsonToken
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loHttp.AuthToken = loJsonToken.StringOf("access_token")

* Let's get the primary calendar.  A calendar ID could have be used instead of "primary".
loHttp.SetUrlVar("calendarId","primary")
loSbResponse = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
lnSuccess = loHttp.QuickGetSb("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{$calendarId}/events",loSbResponse)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN

    RELEASE loJsonToken
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbResponse
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loHttp.LastStatus <> 200) THEN
    * Note: If a 401 unauthorized response is received, it likely means that the OAuth2 access token needs
    * to be refreshed or re-fetched.
