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

' This example also assumes an OAuth2 access token was previously fetched.
' and saved in a JSON file.  

' First get our previously obtained access token.

' Note: The same REST object, once connected, can be used for many requests.
' The bAutoReconnect argument allows it to automatically reconnect as required for any subsequent request.
