use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$req = chilkat::CkHttpRequest->new();
$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->put_HttpVerb("POST");
$req->put_ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
