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

DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoRest
    Handle hoXml
    String sTagPath
    String sResponseXml
    String sTemp1
    Integer iTemp1
    Boolean bTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

    // 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.

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatRest)) To hoRest
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoRest))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoRest
    End

    // 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..
