(Chilkat2-Python) Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

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

gAuth = chilkat2.AuthGoogle()
# 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

rest = chilkat2.Rest()

# Connect using TLS.
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)

# Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

# Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
# The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
# to make a better example..

jsonReqBody.AppendString("name","chilkat-bucket-c")

jsonReqBody.AppendObject2("versioning",objVersioning)

# Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
print(jsonReqBody.Emit())

# Add the required query parameter.
# See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert

# Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
