Xero Get File Content (Files API)

Demonstrates how to download the content of a Xero file.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

' Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

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

set rest = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")

' Before sending REST API calls, the REST object needs to be
' initialized for OAuth1.
' See Xero 2-Legged OAuth1 Setup for sample code.

' Assuming the REST object's OAuth1 authenticator is setup, and the initial
' connection was made, we may now send REST HTTP requests..
