(C# UWP/WinRT) Get Current User Information

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).

// 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
Chilkat.OAuth2 oauth2 = new Chilkat.OAuth2();
oauth2.AccessToken = "FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN";

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:

// GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
// Host: graph.facebook.com
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
bool success = await rest.ConnectAsync("graph.facebook.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2);

string responseJson = await rest.FullRequestNoBodyAsync("GET","/v2.7/me");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseJson);

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