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

// Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
loEmail = createobject("CkEmail")
loEmail.Subject = "This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat."
loEmail.Charset = "utf-8"
loEmail.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is a test")
loEmail.AddHtmlAlternativeBody("<html><body><p>This is a <b>test</b></body></html>")

// We'll need to get the full MIME of the email encoded to a base64url string.
loSbMime = createobject("CkStringBuilder")
loEmail.GetMimeSb(loSbMime)
loSbMime.Encode("base64url","utf-8")

// The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..
loJson = createobject("CkJsonObject")
loJson.UpdateSb("message.raw",loSbMime)

// Upload the email to GMail as a draft.
loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")
loHttp.AuthToken = "GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN"

lcUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/drafts"
loResp = loHttp.PostJson3(lcUrl,"application/json",loJson)
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loEmail
    release loSbMime
    release loJson
    release loHttp
    return
endif

// A status code of 200 indicates success.
? "Response status code: " + str(loResp.StatusCode)
? "Response body:"
? loResp.BodyStr
release loResp

// The response body contains JSON.
// Use the online tool at Generate JSON Parsing Code
