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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
// Set AuthToken equal to your token without the keyword "Bearer".
http.AuthToken = "Your access token"

// Send the GET request and get the response text (assuming you know beforehand that the response will be text, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
Dim responseText As String
responseText = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.example.com/something")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    // This means something failed where you did not get an HTTP response.
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// If you get here, then you received an HTTP response where you can check the response status code, and the responseText will contain
// the response body.
System.DebugLog("Response status code = " + Str(http.LastStatus))
If (http.LastStatus <> 200) Then
    // Probably an error from the server.  Examine the HTTP response body.
    System.DebugLog(responseText)
    Return
End If

// If you get here, the response status code was the expected value indicating success,
// if you know the response is JSON, you can load it into a Chilkat JSON object and continue ...
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.EmitCompact = True
Dim success As Boolean
success = json.Load(responseText)
System.DebugLog(json.Emit())
