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

' First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
Dim jsonToken As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/qb-access-token.json")

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

' Connect to the REST server.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim port As Integer = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
Dim success As Boolean = Await rest.ConnectAsync("sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

Dim sbAuth As New Chilkat.StringBuilder

sbAuth.Append(jsonToken.StringOf("access_token"))
rest.Authorization = sbAuth.GetAsString()


' --------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note: The above code to setup the initial REST connection
' can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
' If the connection is lost, the next REST method call will automatically
' reconnect if needed.
