' 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

' Connect using TLS.
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True

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

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

' To get the photo, send the following:

' 	GET /m8/feeds/photos/media/default/contactId

    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A 404 response indicates the contact has no photo.
' (We could've first fetched the contact information, parsed out the 
' photo etag, and then if no photo etag existed, we'd know the contact has no
' photo.  Or... we can just try to download the photo and if a 404 is received,
' we know there's no photo.  Much simpler.)
