http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Lookup an IPv4 address: 8.8.8.8
jsonStr = http.quickGetStr("https://geo.ipify.org/api/v1?apiKey=API_KEY&ipAddress=8.8.8.8")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";

json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
json.put_EmitCompact(false)
success = json.Load(jsonStr)

print json.emit() + "\n";
