' 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 = "o9rw6Gq0RnqlkfaSqtCMOA"
Dim apiSecret As String = "UslmE23Kjh7at9z3If1xAHEyLmPDNxvxQrjR"

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

Dim jose As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean = jose.UpdateString("alg","HS256")
success = jose.UpdateString("typ","JWT")

' Build claims to look like this:
' {"aud":null,"iss":"o9rw6Gq0RnqlkfaSqtCMOA","exp":1627651762,"iat":1627646363}
Dim claims As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = claims.UpdateString("iss",apiKey)

' Set the timestamp of when the JWT was created to now.
Dim curDateTime As Integer = jwt.GenNumericDate(0)
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"iat",curDateTime)

' Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
' to be now + 1 month(3600 * 24 * 30 seconds)
Dim oneMonth As Integer = 3600 * 24 * 30
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"exp",curDateTime + oneMonth)

' Produce the smallest possible JWT:
jwt.AutoCompact = True

Dim strJwt As String = jwt.CreateJwt(jose.Emit(),claims.Emit(),apiSecret)

Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.StringBuilder

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

Dim respStatusCode As Integer = http.LastStatus
Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code = " & respStatusCode)
If (respStatusCode >= 400) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Header:")
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastHeader)
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed.")
