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

' Use your API key and secret here...
Dim apiKey As String
apiKey = "o9rw6Gq0RnqlkfaSqtCMOA"
Dim apiSecret As String
apiSecret = "UslmE23Kjh7at9z3If1xAHEyLmPDNxvxQrjR"

' Create a JWT to authenticate Zoom API requests.
Dim jwt As New ChilkatJwt

Dim jose As New ChilkatJsonObject
Dim success As Long
success = jose.UpdateString("alg","HS256")

' Build claims to look like this:
' {"aud":null,"iss":"o9rw6Gq0RnqlkfaSqtCMOA","exp":1627651762,"iat":1627646363}

Debug.Print strJwt

' Let's test the JWT to by sending the following request:

' curl --request GET \
'   --url 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users?status=active&page_size=30&page_number=1' \
'   --header 'authorization: Bearer { your_token }' \

' curl --request GET \
'   --url 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users?status=active&page_size=30&page_number=1' \
'   --header 'authorization: Bearer { your_token }' \
'   --header 'content-type: application/json

' Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
' Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

http.SetRequestHeader "content-type","application/json"
' Adds the "Authorization: Bearer { your_token }" header.
http.AuthToken = strJwt

Dim sbResponseBody As New ChilkatStringBuilder

Debug.Print "Response Body:"
Debug.Print jResp.Emit()

Dim respStatusCode As Long

If (respStatusCode >= 400) Then
    Debug.Print "Response Header:"
    Debug.Print http.LastHeader
    Debug.Print "Failed."
