# 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..
sbToken = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8")

# Send a GET equivalent to this curl command.

# curl -X GET \
#     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
#     -o "[SAVE_TO_LOCATION]" \
#     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]/o/[OBJECT_NAME]?projection=full"

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

http.put_AuthToken(sbToken.getAsString())

# Construct a URL to download the metadata for the object named "starfish.jpg" located in the "chilkat-ocean" bucket.
http.SetUrlVar("bucket_name","chilkat-ocean")
http.SetUrlVar("object_name","starfish.jpg")
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}/o/{$object_name}?projection=full"

# If there is an error response, then we didn't actually download the metadata,
# but instead we downloaded an error response..
sbMetaData = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = http.DownloadSb(url,"utf-8",sbMetaData)
if (success == False):
