-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Implements the following CURL command:

-- curl --request POST \
-- --url https://api.frame.io/v2/assets/<root_asset_id>/children \
-- --header 'authorization: Bearer <FRAME_IO_DEV_TOKEN>' \
-- --header 'content-type: application/json' \
-- --data '{"type":"folder", "name": "Folder at root"}'

-- Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
-- Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

-- Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
