Xero Get File Content (Files API)

Demonstrates how to download the content of a Xero file.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

C++

#include <CkRest.h>
#include <CkStringBuilder.h>
#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

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

    CkRest rest;

    //  Before sending REST API calls, the REST object needs to be
    //  initialized for OAuth1.
    //  See Xero 2-Legged OAuth1 Setup for sample code.

    //  Assuming the REST object's OAuth1 authenticator is setup, and the initial
    //  connection was made, we may now send REST HTTP requests..
