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

CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

// Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
// Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
http.AuthToken = @"Your access token";

// Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
NSString *responseText = [http QuickGetStr: @"https://www.example.com/something"];
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    // This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.

    return;

// If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
// the response body.

    // Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
