See more REST Examples

Demonstrates a file upload to Google Drive where the contents of the file are contained in a string variable. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example will upload a file to Google Drive.
    success = true

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

    let gAuth = CkoAuthGoogle()!
    gAuth.scope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"
    gAuth.subEmailAddress = "some.user@example.com"
    gAuth.expireNumSeconds = 3600

    // Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
    // See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
    // See Get Access Token using a P12 File

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    // Connect using TLS.
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "www.googleapis.com", port: 443, tls: true, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    success = rest.setAuthGoogle(authProvider: gAuth)

    // A multipart upload to Google Drive needs a multipart/related Content-Type
    success = rest.addHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "multipart/related")

    // Specify each part of the request.

    // The 1st part is JSON with information about the file.
    rest.partSelector = "1"
    success = rest.addHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json; charset=UTF-8")

    let json = CkoJsonObject()!
    success = json.addString(at: -1, name: "title", value: "helloWorld.txt")

    success = json.addString(at: -1, name: "mimeType", value: "text/plain")
    success = rest.setMultipartBodyString(bodyText: json.emit())

    // The 2nd part is the file content.
    // In this case, we'll upload a simple text file containing "Hello World!"
    rest.partSelector = "2"
    success = rest.addHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "text/plain")
    success = rest.setMultipartBodyString(bodyText: "Hello World!")

        return
    }

    // Show the JSON response.
    print("Response Status Code: \(rest.responseStatusCode.intValue)")
