<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

$http = new CkHttp();

// 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->put_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->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    // 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 = ' . $http->get_LastStatus() . "\n";
if ($http->get_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 ...
