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

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

* Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
* Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
loHttp.AuthToken = "Your access token"

* Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
lcResponseText = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://www.example.com/something")
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    * This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
* the response body.
? "Response status code = " + STR(loHttp.LastStatus)
IF (loHttp.LastStatus <> 200) THEN
    * Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    ? lcResponseText
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
* if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.EmitCompact = 1
loJson.Load(lcResponseText)
? loJson.Emit()
