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

* Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
loEmail.Subject = "This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat."
loEmail.Charset = "utf-8"
loEmail.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is a test")
loEmail.AddHtmlAlternativeBody("<html><body><p>This is a <b>test</b></body></html>")

* We'll need to get the full MIME of the email encoded to a base64url string.
loSbMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loEmail.GetMimeSb(loSbMime)
loSbMime.Encode("base64url","utf-8")

* The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateSb("message.raw",loSbMime)

* Upload the email to GMail as a draft.
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loHttp.AuthToken = "GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN"

lcUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/drafts"
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpJson("POST",lcUrl,loJson,"application/json",loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    RELEASE loSbMime
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* A status code of 200 indicates success.
? "Response status code: " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
? "Response body:"
? loResp.BodyStr

* The response body contains JSON.
* Use the online tool at Generate JSON Parsing Code
* to generate JSON parsing code.

* A sample successful JSON response:

* {
*  "id": "r-2607584557788895307",
*  "message": {
*   "id": "166f09932c662e93",
*   "threadId": "166f09932c662e93",
*   "labelIds": [
*    "DRAFT"
