require 'chilkat'

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

# This application uses application-only authentication.
# It uses the token previously obtained as shown in this example:  Twitter Application-Only Authentication

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Set the OAuth2 token previously obtained via application-only authentication.
http.put_AuthToken("TWITTER_OAUTH2_TOKEN")

# A sample GET looks like this:
# GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json?id=210462857140252672
url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json?id=TWEET_ID"
strJson = http.quickGetStr(url)
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

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

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