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

# This example assumes a previously obtained an access token
oauth2 = chilkat.CkOAuth2()
oauth2.put_AccessToken("FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN")

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

# Connect to Facebook...
success = rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,True,True)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2)

# Assumes we've already obtained a Photo ID.
photoId = "10210199026347451"

sbPath = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
sbPath.Append("/v2.7/")
sbPath.Append(photoId)

# Select the fields we want.
# This example will select many of the possible fields.
# See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/photo/

# Show the JSON in human-readable format.
