Demonstrates how to retrieve information about the current Facebook user. This is the most basic thing to get working first (after obtaining an access token). VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

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

' This example assumes we previously obtained an access token
set oauth2 = CreateObject("Chilkat.OAuth2")
oauth2.AccessToken = "FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN"

set rest = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")

' Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:

' GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
' Host: graph.facebook.com
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,1,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
success = rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2)

responseJson = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/v2.7/me")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine(responseJson)

' The responseJson looks like this:
' {"name":"John Doe","id":"10111011320111110"}

outFile.Close
