# This example will use private authentication (which is HTTP Basic authentication)
# See the other Chilkat Shopify examples for OAuth2 authentication.
# To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
# Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.

# We're going to do a POST  https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-04/graphql.json
# Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.

# The body of the request will be:
#    {
#        shop {
#            id
#            name
#            description
#            email

# We'll just make it one line:
