// 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 Sheets scope.

// In this example, Get Google Sheets 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/googleSheets.json');

    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");

// Create the following JSON:
// The JSON code can be generated using this online tool:  Generate JSON create code
// {
