See more REST Examples

Demonstrates a file upload to Google Drive where the contents of the file are contained in a string variable. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example will upload a file to Google Drive.
$success = 1;

# It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$gAuth = chilkat::CkAuthGoogle->new();
$gAuth->put_Scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive");
$gAuth->put_SubEmailAddress('some.user@example.com');
$gAuth->put_ExpireNumSeconds(3600);

# Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
# See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
# See Get Access Token using a P12 File

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Connect using TLS.
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,1,$bAutoReconnect);

# Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
$success = $rest->SetAuthGoogle($gAuth);

# A multipart upload to Google Drive needs a multipart/related Content-Type
$success = $rest->AddHeader("Content-Type","multipart/related");

# Specify each part of the request.

# The 1st part is JSON with information about the file.
$rest->put_PartSelector("1");
$success = $rest->AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json; charset=UTF-8");

$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$success = $json->AddStringAt(-1,"title","helloWorld.txt");
$success = $json->AddStringAt(-1,"description","A simple text file that says Hello World.");
$success = $json->AddStringAt(-1,"mimeType","text/plain");
$success = $rest->SetMultipartBodyString($json->emit());

# The 2nd part is the file content.
# In this case, we'll upload a simple text file containing "Hello World!"
$rest->put_PartSelector("2");
$success = $rest->AddHeader("Content-Type","text/plain");
$success = $rest->SetMultipartBodyString("Hello World!");

# POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v2/files
$jsonResponse = $rest->fullRequestMultipart("POST","/upload/drive/v2/files?uploadType=multipart");
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Show the JSON response.
print "Response Status Code: " . $rest->get_ResponseStatusCode() . "\r\n";
print "Json Response: " . $jsonResponse . "\r\n";
