<?php

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
// Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
$http->AuthToken = 'Your access token';

// Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
$responseText = $http->quickGetStr('https://www.example.com/something');
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    // This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
// the response body.
print 'Response status code = ' . $http->LastStatus . "\n";
if ($http->LastStatus != 200) {
    // Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    print $responseText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
// if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->EmitCompact = 1;
$json->Load($responseText);
print $json->emit() . "\n";
