var success = false;

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

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Calendar scope.

// In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
var jsonToken = new CkJsonObject();
success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCalendar.json");
if (jsonToken.HasMember("access_token") == false) {
    console.log("No access token found.");
    return;
}

var http = new CkHttp();
http.AuthToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token");

// Let's get the primary calendar.
var jsonResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList/primary");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(jsonResponse);

// A sample response is:

// {
//  "kind": "calendar#calendarListEntry",
//  "etag": "\"1465249947472000\"",
//  "id": "support@chilkatcloud.com",
//  "summary": "support@chilkatcloud.com",
//  "timeZone": "America/Chicago",
//  "colorId": "14",
//  "backgroundColor": "#9fe1e7",
//  "foregroundColor": "#000000",
//  "selected": true,
//  "accessRole": "owner",
//  "defaultReminders": [
//   {
//    "method": "popup",
//    "minutes": 10
//   }
//  ],
//  "notificationSettings": {
//   "notifications": [
//    {
//     "type": "eventCreation",
//     "method": "email"
//    },

//    {
//     "type": "eventResponse",
//     "method": "email"
//    }
//   ]
//  },
//  "primary": true
// }

// It can be parsed like this:
var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.Load(jsonResponse);

console.log("kind: " + json.StringOf("kind"));
console.log("id: " + json.StringOf("id"));

// Examine the notification settings, if any..
var numSettings = json.SizeOfArray("notificationSettings.notifications");
if (numSettings > 0) {
    var i = 0;
    while (i < numSettings) {
        json.I = i;
        console.log("Notification Type: " + json.StringOf("notificationSettings.notifications[i].type"));
        console.log("Notification Method: " + json.StringOf("notificationSettings.notifications[i].method"));
