* 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.

loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.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..

loSbPath = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbPath.Append("/payroll.xro/1.0/Employees/")
* To get the detailed information for an individual employee,
* add the EmployeeID to the path.
loSbPath.Append("056a9821-55b8-4c91-b5ce-a6ce2ab508ab")

* Get the data for the indicated employee.
loSbXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
lnSuccess = loRest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET",loSbPath.GetAsString(),loSbXml)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSbPath
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* A 200 response is expected for actual success.
IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) THEN
    ? loSbXml.GetAsString()
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSbPath
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Iterate over the employees and get some information..

lnBAutoTrim = 0
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.LoadSb(loSbXml,lnBAutoTrim)
loXml.SaveXml("qa_cache/xero_employee_lebron.xml")

* Use GetChild2 to navigate to the BankAccounts node.
lnSuccess = loXml.FindChild2("Employees|Employee|BankAccounts")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? "BankAccounts node not found."

* Demonstrate how to iterate over each of the employee's Bank Accounts to get information
* from each.  (This same technique can be used for other parts of the XML.)
lnRecordCount = loXml.NumChildren
? "Number of Bank Accounts = " + STR(lnRecordCount)

* Return back to the root.
loXml.GetRoot2()

* The output looks like this:

* 	Number of Bank Accounts = 2
* 	AccountName: James Lebron Savings
* 	StatementText: Salary
* 	AccountNumber: 345678
* 	Amount: 200.00
