Xero Get File Content (Files API)

Demonstrates how to download the content of a Xero file.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

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

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Before sending REST API calls, the REST object needs to be
# initialized for OAuth1.
# See Xero 2-Legged OAuth1 Setup for sample code.

# Assuming the REST object's OAuth1 authenticator is setup, and the initial
# connection was made, we may now send REST HTTP requests..

$success = $rest->FullRequestNoBodyBd("GET",$sbPath->getAsString(),$jpgData);

}

# A 200 response is expected for actual success.
# If we don't get a 200 response, then the response body was not actually
# the file data, but it was text containing error information.
