This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// 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.cc.email/v3/contact_lists \
//   -H 'Accept: application/json' \
//   -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
//   -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
//   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
//   -d '{
//   "name": "Multiple purchases",
//   "favorite": true,
//   "description": "List of repeat customers"
// }'
