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

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
// Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
// (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)

// This example loads the JSON access token file 
// saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token
