// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// Use your actual access token instead of 555555555555555555555555555555

// Note: The WaTrend online documentation indicate a POST should be used.
// However, it seems you might actually need to send a GET request.
// It is unclear.  
// If a GET is neeed, you would just send to the URL w/ query params like this:
Dim sbUrl As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = sbUrl.Append("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php?")
success = sbUrl.Append(req.GetUrlEncodedParams())
Dim responseBodyStr As String
responseBodyStr = http.QuickGetStr(sbUrl.GetAsString())
// The responseBodyStr contains the JSON response from the server..

// If a POST is needed, then it is sent like this:
Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse
resp = http.PostUrlEncoded("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php",req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)

End If

    System.DebugLog("Response Header:")
    System.DebugLog(resp.Header)
    System.DebugLog("Failed.")

    Return
End If

System.DebugLog(resp.BodyStr)

// Both success and failed responses use 200 status code.

// A success response contains this JSON in the response body:
// {"status":"success", ... }

// A failed response will contain something like this:
// {"status":"error","message":"License Invalidated"}

success = jResp.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)

Dim status As String
