Rust

// 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)
let json_token = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json_token.load_file("qa_data/tokens/paypal.json");

// Build the Authorization request header field value.
let sb_auth = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
// token_type should be "Bearer"
let _ = sb_auth.append(&json_token.string_of("token_type").unwrap_or_default());
let _ = sb_auth.append(" ");
let _ = sb_auth.append(&json_token.string_of("access_token").unwrap_or_default());

// 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.
let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();

}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 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:
let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
json.set_emit_compact(false);

let _ = json.update_string("note", "Please pay soon");
let _ = json.update_bool("send_to_merchant", true);

// 	{ 
// 	  "subject": "Past due",
// 	  "note": "Please pay soon",
// 	  "send_to_merchant": true,
// 	}

// Build a path using a previously-sent invoice ID.
let sb_path = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb_path.append("/v1/invoicing/invoices/invoice_id/remind");
let num_replacements = sb_path.replace("invoice_id", "INV2-ZG2H-HKAW-PMWU-N6ZR");
