Demonstrates how to get an OAuth2 access token for the Moody's REST API. Go

    success := false

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    req := chilkat.NewHttpRequest()
    req.AddParam("grant_type","password")
    req.AddParam("scope","api/ratings api/addin rest")
    req.AddParam("username","my_username")
    req.AddParam("password","my_password")
    // I have no idea of where to get the client_id or client_secret.
    // When you create a Moody's App, it only provides an "API Key".
    req.AddParam("client_id","my_client_id")
    req.AddParam("client_secret","my_client_secret")

    req.SetHttpVerb("POST")
