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

' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
' Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
' (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
' This example loads the JSON access token file 
' saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

Dim jsonToken As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleContacts.json")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load googleContacts.json")
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim gAuth As New Chilkat.AuthGoogle
gAuth.AccessToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token")

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

' Connect using TLS.
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("www.google.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)

' Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access token)
rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

' ----------------------------------------------
' OK, the REST connection setup is completed..
' ----------------------------------------------

' To retrieve the contacts, we need to send the following:

' 	GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full
' 	GData-Version: 3.0


' To get the contacts data in JSON format, set the "alt" query parameter to "json"
rest.AddQueryParam("alt","json")
rest.AddHeader("GData-Version","3.0")

Dim sbResponseBody As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET","/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full",sbResponseBody)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A successful response will have a status code equal to 200.
If (rest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("response status code = " & rest.ResponseStatusCode)
    Debug.WriteLine("response status text = " & rest.ResponseStatusText)
    Debug.WriteLine("response header: " & rest.ResponseHeader)
    Debug.WriteLine("response body: " & sbResponseBody.GetAsString())

End If


' If the 200 response was received, then the contacts JSON is contained
' in the response body.

' Save the pretty-printed JSON response to a file.
sbResponseBody.Clear()

    If (json.LastMethodSuccess = True) Then
