Dim success As Boolean = False

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

'  This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
'  scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

'  In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
'  the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
Dim sbToken As ChilkatStringBuilder

sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt", "utf-8")

'  ---- Step 1
'  Create a JSON that contains the following information, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

'  {
'    "name": "[BUCKET_NAME]",
'    "location": "[BUCKET_LOCATION]",
'    "storageClass": "[STORAGE_CLASS]"
'  }

Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize
json.UpdateString("name", "chilkat-ocean")
json.UpdateString("location", "us")
json.UpdateString("storageClass", "multi_regional")

'  ---- Step 2
'  Send a POST equivalent to this curl command

'  curl -X POST --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
'       -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
'       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
