# This example duplicates the following CURL request:
# curl -d @your_filename.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i "https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

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

# Connect to the Google API REST server.

port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True

# Add the Content-Type request header.
rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

# Add your API key as a query parameter
rest.AddQueryParam("key","YOUR_API_KEY")

# The JSON query is contained in the body of the HTTP POST.
# This is a sample query (which we'll dynamically build in this example)
