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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim rest As New ChilkatRest
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim bAutoReconnect As Long
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Configure OAuth 2.0 bearer-token authentication.  The provider must contain a valid access token.
Dim oauth2 As New ChilkatOAuth2
'  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(oauth2)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim responseText As String
responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/resource")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
