* Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

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

* Load our previously obtained access token. (see PayPal OAuth2 Access Token)
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJsonToken = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/paypal.json")

* Build the Authorization request header field value.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbAuth = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
* token_type should be "Bearer"
loSbAuth.Append(loJsonToken.StringOf("token_type"))
loSbAuth.Append(" ")
loSbAuth.Append(loJsonToken.StringOf("access_token"))

* Make the initial connection.
* A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many PayPal REST API calls.
* The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
* then it will be automatically re-established as needed.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest')
loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
* because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
* the app may send many requests..

* To refund a particular amount, build JSON such as this:
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJsonPartial = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonPartial.EmitCompact = 0
loJsonPartial.UpdateString("amount.total","2.34")
loJsonPartial.UpdateString("amount.currency","USD")
* invoice_number is optional..
loJsonPartial.UpdateString("invoice_number","INV-1234567")
? loJsonPartial.Emit()

* The JSON for a partial refund:

* 	{ 
* 	  "amount": { 
* 	    "total": "2.34",
* 	    "currency": "USD"
* 	  },
* 	  "invoice_number": "INV-1234567"
* 	}

loRest.AddHeader("Authorization",loSbAuth.GetAsString())
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

* The sale ID is added to the path.
* The sale ID is obtained from payment records as shown here: Find Completed Sales
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbPath = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbPath.Append("/v1/payments/sale/sale_id/refund")
lnNumReplaced = loSbPath.Replace("sale_id","1XC17935MN507400J")

* Send the POST request containign the JSON in the request body, and get the JSON response.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbJsonRequest = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loJsonPartial.EmitCompact = 1
loJsonPartial.EmitSb(loSbJsonRequest)
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbJsonResponse = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')

lnBFullRefund = 1
* To send a full refund, send an empty request body:
IF (lnBFullRefund = 1) THEN
    loSbJsonRequest.Clear()
    loSbJsonRequest.Append("{}")
