Configure OAuth 2.0 Authentication for REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthOAuth2, which associates an OAuth2 provider containing a valid access token so Chilkat adds the bearer token to the Authorization header.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let rest = CkoRest()!
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "example.com", port: 443, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Configure OAuth 2.0 bearer-token authentication.  The provider must contain a valid access token.
    let oauth2 = CkoOAuth2()!
    //  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
    //  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
    oauth2.accessToken = "OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN"

    //  Associate the provider so Chilkat adds the bearer token to the Authorization header.
    success = rest.setAuthOAuth2(authProvider: oauth2)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var responseText: String? = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/api/resource")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")
