  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

  const http = new Http();

  // 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.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.)
  let responseText: string;

    responseText = await http.quickGetStrAsync('https://www.example.com/something');
  } catch {
    // This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // 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.

  if (http.lastStatus !== 200) {
    // Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    console.log(responseText);
    return;
  }

  // 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 ...
