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

var http = new CkHttp();

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
// -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
// -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
// -d '{"text":"Hello, X.com! This is my first post using the API."}'
