See more Google Translate Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token for the Google Translate API. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
-- This example loads the JSON access token file
-- saved by this example: Get Google Translate API OAuth2 Access Token

local jsonToken = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
local success = jsonToken:load_file("qa_data/tokens/_googleTranslate.json")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load _googleTranslate.json")
    return
end

-- The access token JSON looks like this:

-- {
--   "access_token": "ya29.a0AfH6S ... LAZYFUkf0",
--   "expires_in": 3599,
--   "refresh_token": "1//0fL_Ov ... ee0",
--   "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-translation",
--   "token_type": "Bearer"
-- }

local oauth2 = chilkat.OAuth2.new()

oauth2.token_endpoint = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token"

-- Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.client_id = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID"
oauth2.client_secret = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET"

-- Get the "refresh_token"
oauth2.refresh_token = jsonToken:string_of("refresh_token")

-- Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
success = oauth2:refresh_access_token()
if not success then
    print(oauth2.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
-- our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
jsonToken:update_string("access_token", oauth2.access_token)

-- Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
local sbJson = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
jsonToken.emit_compact = false
jsonToken:emit_sb(sbJson)
