(CkPython) curl with OAuth2 Client Credentials

See more CURL Examples

This example shows how to run a simple CURL command with an OAuth2 access token for authorization. We use CURL to retrieve a SharePoint site ID, and Chilkat automatically fetches the OAuth2 access token using the provided credentials.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.5.0 or greater.

# This example will run the following curl command

# curl -X GET "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{sharepoint_hostname}}:/sites/{{site_name}}" \
#   -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
#   -H "Accept: application/json"

# Provide the information for getting the OAuth2 access token from the token endpoint
# Note: The Authorization header specified in the curl command will be ignored and replaced using the OAuth2 access token obtained at runtime from the token endpoint.
httpCurl.SetAuth(jsonOAuth2)

# The placeholders {{sharepoint_hostname}} and {{site_name}} represent variables that must be defined before execution.
# When DoYourThing runs the curl command, it automatically substitutes these placeholders with their corresponding values.
# Below are the values assigned to these variables:
httpCurl.SetVar("sharepoint_hostname","example.sharepoint.com")
httpCurl.SetVar("site_name","test")

# Run the curl command.
