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

* See Get QuickBooks OAuth2 Access Token 
* for sample code showing how to obtain a QuickBooks access token for desktop apps.

* This example assumes we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token for QuickBooks.

loJsonToken = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
lnSuccess = loJsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/qb-access-token.json")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Failed to load qb-access-token.json"
    RELEASE loJsonToken
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The access token JSON looks something like this:

* {
*   "expires_in": 3600,
*   "x_refresh_token_expires_in": 8726400,
*   "refresh_token": "L011546037639r ... 3vR2DrbOmg0Sdagw",
*   "access_token": "eyJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0 ... oETJEMbeggg",
*   "token_type": "bearer"
* }

loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://oauth.platform.intuit.com/oauth2/v1/tokens/bearer"

* Replace these with actual values.
loOauth2.ClientId = "QUICKBOOKS-CLIENT-ID"
loOauth2.ClientSecret = "QUICKBOOKS-CLIENT-SECRET"

* Get the "refresh_token"
loOauth2.RefreshToken = loJsonToken.StringOf("refresh_token")

* Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
lnSuccess = loOauth2.RefreshAccessToken()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loJsonToken
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
* our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
loJsonToken.UpdateString("access_token",loOauth2.AccessToken)

* Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
* The access + refresh tokens contained in this JSON will be needed for the next refresh.
