* Begin by loading your Google service account key (.p12)
loCert = CreateObject('Chilkat.Cert')
lnSuccess = loCert.LoadPfxFile("c:/someDirectory/keys/chilkat25-cbd7b42afbd8.p12","notasecret")

* The ISS is your service account email address ending in gserviceaccount.com.
lcIss = "chilkatsvc@chilkat25.iam.gserviceaccount.com"

* The scope is always the following string:
lcScope = "https://mail.google.com/"

* The sub is your company email address
lcOauth_sub = "bob@yourcompany.com"

* The access token is valid for this number of seconds.
lnNumSec = 3600

lcAccessToken = loHttp.G_SvcOauthAccessToken(lcIss,lcScope,lcOauth_sub,lnNumSec,loCert)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ELSE
    ? "access token: " + lcAccessToken
ENDIF

* The access token allows us to send unlimited emails while it's valid. Once it expires, we must obtain and use a new one.
