# 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 
# scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

# In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
# the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..

# ---- Step 1
# Create a JSON that contains the following information, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

# {
#   "name": "[BUCKET_NAME]",
#   "location": "[BUCKET_LOCATION]",
#   "storageClass": "[STORAGE_CLASS]"
# }

# ---- Step 2
# Send a POST equivalent to this curl command

# curl -X POST --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \

#      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
