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

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Calendar scope.

// In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$jsonToken = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$success = $jsonToken->LoadFile('qa_data/tokens/googleCalendar.json');
if ($jsonToken->HasMember('access_token') == 0) {
    print 'No access token found.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");
$http->AuthToken = $jsonToken->stringOf('access_token');

// Let's get the primary calendar.  A calendar ID could have be used instead of "primary".
$http->SetUrlVar('calendarId','primary');
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')

    exit;
}

if ($http->LastStatus != 200) {
    // Note: If a 401 unauthorized response is received, it likely means that the OAuth2 access token needs
    // to be refreshed or re-fetched.
