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

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

;  The id of the GMail message to download.
Local $sId = "166e50fed0b9b0cb"
Local $sUserId = "me"

$oHttp.SetUrlVar("userId","me")
$oHttp.SetUrlVar("id",$sId)

;  Fetch the email.
Local $sUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/messages/{$id}?format=raw"
$oSbJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.DownloadSb($sUrl,"utf-8",$oSbJson)

;  The returned JSON contains something like this:

;    "raw": "BASE64URL_CONTENT"
;  }

;  The RFC822 MIME of the email is contained in the "raw" as a base64URL encoded string.
;  Let's decode and load into a Chilkat email object..

;  Now we can use the email API to do whatever we desire..
