Note

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

// Get the previously obtained access token.
// See Get Google Photos Access Token.

var jsonToken = new CkJsonObject();
success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googlePhotos.json");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(jsonToken.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var http = new CkHttp();

http.AuthToken = jsonToken.StringOf("access_token");

// Create an album named "animals"
var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.UpdateString("album.title","animals");

var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpJson("POST","https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums",json,"application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Show the response body.
console.log(resp.BodyStr);

// Examine the response status code.  Success is indicated by a status code of 200.
console.log("response status code: " + resp.StatusCode);

json.Load(resp.BodyStr);

// Sample response:

// {
//   "id": "AKcbugHaQTvUKSi3M2RQxOhxhdEaLc5mfUcqFoIU_kpQaROyUD70BcFt7_mnz5PcwwsjPKeKnLHN",
//   "title": "animals",
//   "productUrl": "https://photos.google.com/lr/album/AKcbugHaQTvUKSi3M2RQxOhxhdEaLc5mfUcqFoIU_kpQaROyUD70BcFt7_mnz5PcwwsjPKeKnLHN",
//   "isWriteable": true
// }
