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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Adds the "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" header.
* This is NOT a real key.  Change the "sk-vi...." to your own key.
loHttp.AuthToken = "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"

lcFile_id = "file-1H4vJq0H775gQVrjWY5jpp15"

* Download to local file.
lcUrl = "https://api.openai.com/v1/files/{$file_id}/content"
loHttp.SetUrlVar("file_id",lcFile_id)

* Note: Free accounts are not able to download files.
* If using a free account, you'll receive an error response:  "To help mitigate abuse, downloading of fine-tune training files is disabled for free accounts."
lnSuccess = loHttp.Download(lcUrl,"c:/aaworkarea/mydata.jsonl")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN

? "Downloaded OpenAI file to a local file."

* Alternatively, download into a StringBuilder
