require 'chilkat'

# Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

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

# Load our previously obtained access token. (see PayPal OAuth2 Access Token)
jsonToken = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# Build the Authorization request header field value.
sbAuth = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
# token_type should be "Bearer"
sbAuth.Append(jsonToken.stringOf("token_type"))
sbAuth.Append(" ")
sbAuth.Append(jsonToken.stringOf("access_token"))

# Make the initial connection.
# A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many PayPal REST API calls.
# The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
# then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
# because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
# the app may send many requests..

# Build the JSON request body containing the reminder information:

json.UpdateString("note","Refunded by credit card!")
json.UpdateString("amount.currency","USD")
json.UpdateString("amount.value","500.00")
print json.emit() + "\n";

# The JSON created by the above code:

# 	{ 
# 	  "date": "2016-11-28 21:05:38 UTC",

# 	  "amount": { 
# 	    "currency": "USD",
# 	    "value": "500.00"

# Build a path using a previously-sent invoice ID.
