//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

//  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..

//  To append values to an existing spreadsheet, our HTTP request body will
//  contain JSON in the format of a "ValueRange".  For example, the spreadsheet we'll be
//  adding to in this example looks like this:

//  

//  The JSON ValueRange for the cells in the above spreadsheet is:
//  {
//    "range": "Sheet1!A1:B5",
//    "majorDimension": "ROWS",
//    "values": [
//      [
//        "Item",
//        "Cost"
//      ],
//      [
//        "Wheel",
//        "$20.50"
//      ],
//      [
//        "Door",
//        "$15"
//      ],
//      [
//        "Engine",
//        "$100"
//      ],
//      [
//        "Totals",
//        "$135.50"
//      ]
//    ]
//  }

//  This example will append 6 cells (3 rows / 2 columns).
//  We'll be appending the following:
//  
//  "Paint", "$100"
//  "Brakes", "$100"
//  "New Total", "$335.50"
//  

//  The range of cells we'll be appending is A1:B5
//  Therefore, the ValueRange JSON we'll be sending in our POST body is:

//  {
//    "range": "Sheet1!A1:B5",
//    "majorDimension": "ROWS",
//    "values": [
//      [
//        "Paint",
//        "$100"
//      ],
//      [
//        "Brakes",
//        "$100"
//      ],
//      [
//        "New Total",
//        "$335.50"
//      ]
//    ]
