<?php

// This example assumes 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");

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.HttpRequest')
$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");
$req->AddParam('grant_type','password');
$req->AddParam('scope','api/ratings api/addin rest');
$req->AddParam('username','my_username');
$req->AddParam('password','my_password');
// I have no idea of where to get the client_id or client_secret.
// When you create a Moody's App, it only provides an "API Key".
$req->AddParam('client_id','my_client_id');
$req->AddParam('client_secret','my_client_secret');

// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostUrlEncoded('https://api.moodys.com/OAuth/Token',$req);
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'status code = ' . $resp->StatusCode . "\n";

print $responseBody . "\n";

// Save the JSON to a file for future requests.
