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

# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
# -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
# -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
# -d '{"text":"Hello, X.com! This is my first post using the API."}'

# Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
# Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

# Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
# Generate Code to Create JSON
