require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

req = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()
req.AddParam("grant_type","password")
req.AddParam("scope","api/ratings api/addin rest")
req.AddParam("username","my_username")
req.AddParam("password","my_password")
# I have no idea of where to get the client_id or client_secret.
# When you create a Moody's App, it only provides an "API Key".
req.AddParam("client_id","my_client_id")
req.AddParam("client_secret","my_client_secret")

req.put_HttpVerb("POST")
