import { Http, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new Http();

  // Adds the "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" header.
  // This is NOT a real key.  Change the "sk-vi...." to your own key.
  http.authToken = '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';

  const fileId = 'file-1H4vJq0H775gQVrjWY5jpp15';

  // Download to local file.
  const url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/files/{$file_id}/content';
  http.setUrlVar('file_id', fileId);

  // Note: Free accounts are not able to download files.
  // If using a free account, you'll receive an error response:  "To help mitigate abuse, downloading of fine-tune training files is disabled for free accounts."
  try {
    await http.downloadAsync(url, 'c:/aaworkarea/mydata.jsonl');
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    console.log('Failed');
    return;
  }

  console.log('Downloaded OpenAI file to a local file.');

  // Alternatively, download into a StringBuilder
  const sbData = new StringBuilder();
  try {
    await http.downloadSbAsync(url, 'utf-8', sbData);
  } catch {

  console.log('Downloaded OpenAI file to a StringBuilder');

  console.log('file content:');
  console.log(sbData.getAsString());
