RE: Need Help - Foxpro & Chilkat & Rest API

Generally speaking, the token is the key that unlocks access to the APIs you want to call. So you need to persist that in your business object, and pass it to any API calls you make. Depending on the API you're hitting, the token value could be in the request header or it could be a key:value pa

And I know you're using Chilkat but West-Wind has some good, simple examples of using REST with VFP. IIRC Rick also did that as a session at SWFox so you've probably got that whitepaper in the downloads. -- rk From: ProfoxTech On Behalf Of Richard Kaye Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2022 10:20 AM To
