Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestSb, which sends a complete request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text response body in a second StringBuilder.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

rest = chilkat.CkRest()
bTls = True
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
#  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
sbRequest = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
sbRequest.Append("{ \"query\": \"chilkat\" }")

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

sbResponse = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,sbResponse)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

responseText = sbResponse.getAsString()
if (sbResponse.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(sbResponse.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print(responseText)
