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

$http = New-Object 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 -eq $false) {
    # This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    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.
$("Response status code = " + $http.LastStatus)
if ($http.LastStatus -ne 200) {
    # Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    $($responseText)
    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 ...
$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json.EmitCompact = $true
$json.Load($responseText)
$($json.Emit())
