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

// It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
// This example loads the JSON access token file 
// saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonToken = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bool success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleContacts.json");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load googleContacts.json");
    return;
}

// The access token JSON looks like this:

// 	{ 
// 	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
// 	 "token_type": "Bearer",
// 	 "expires_in": 3600,
// 	 "refresh_token": "1/lEe5abcdNJ77eOSDBabcdkQGVmDalkwabcdR2Hatbo"
// 	}
// 

Chilkat.OAuth2 oauth2 = new Chilkat.OAuth2();

// Replace these with actual values.

oauth2.ClientSecret = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET";

// Get the "refresh_token"
oauth2.RefreshToken = jsonToken.StringOf("refresh_token");

// Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
success = await oauth2.RefreshAccessTokenAsync();
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(oauth2.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
// our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
