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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
# Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
http.put_AuthToken("Your access token")

# Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
responseText = http.quickGetStr("https://www.example.com/something")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    # This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
# the response body.
print("Response status code = " + str(http.get_LastStatus()))
if (http.get_LastStatus() != 200):
    # Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    print(responseText)
    sys.exit()

# If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
# if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.put_EmitCompact(True)
json.Load(responseText)
print(json.emit())
