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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  Send the following GET request to get a binary response.
*  The body of the binary response contains the image data for the QR code.
*  https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=[URL-encoded-text]&size=[pixels]x[pixels]

loQueryParams = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loQueryParams.UpdateString("data","Hello World")
loQueryParams.UpdateString("size","100x100")

*  Get a PNG file..
*  Possible formats are:
*  png
*  gif
*  jpeg
*  jpg
*  svg
*  eps
*  Case matters.  Use lowercase.
loQueryParams.UpdateString("format","png")

*  Send the GET request to an endpoint.
*  Chilkat will add the url-encoded query params passed in the JSON.
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpParams("GET","https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/",loQueryParams,loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loQueryParams
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Did it succeed?
IF (loResp.StatusCode <> 200) THEN
    *  The response body, if anything, would not be the image data, but would likely be the error text (or HTML, or whatever...)
    ? loResp.BodyStr
    ? "Response status = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
    ? "Failed."
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loQueryParams
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Success if we get here..
*  Save the binary body as the PNG file, or you can get the bytes of the PNG..
lnSuccess = loResp.SaveBodyBinary("c:/temp/qa_output/qr_code.png")

*  Or get the bytes:
loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
loResp.GetBodyBd(loBd)
*  Use the bytes in bd...
*  See the online reference documentation for the function to access the bytes directly.
