(Xojo Plugin) curl with OAuth2 Client Credentials

See more CURL Examples

This example shows how to run a simple CURL command with an OAuth2 access token for authorization. We use CURL to retrieve a SharePoint site ID, and Chilkat automatically fetches the OAuth2 access token using the provided credentials.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.5.0 or greater.

// This example will run the following curl command

// curl -X GET "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{sharepoint_hostname}}:/sites/{{site_name}}" \

//   -H "Accept: application/json"

// Note: The Authorization header specified in the curl command will be ignored and replaced using the OAuth2 access token obtained at runtime from the token endpoint.

// The placeholders {{sharepoint_hostname}} and {{site_name}} represent variables that must be defined before execution.
// When DoYourThing runs the curl command, it automatically substitutes these placeholders with their corresponding values.
// Below are the values assigned to these variables:
httpCurl.SetVar "sharepoint_hostname","example.sharepoint.com"
httpCurl.SetVar "site_name","test"

// Run the curl command.
