vb.net using apikey examples

[TMattar]

I am attempting to do some API calls into SP. I would like to build a small query process using VB.net using an APIKEY authorization. (I already have an apikey generated). I have been all over this site but have not found any vb.net examples. I just need a few samples on authenticating and passing parameters to an API call.


Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hi, this is pretty rough but hope it helps.

API key (Bearer grabbed from textbox)
this takes PDF attachments from emails (MS outlook) and saves them as attachments to the job

Code: Select all

 Sub Mail()

        Dim olApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application
        Dim ns As [NameSpace]
        Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
        Dim Item As MailItem
        Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
        Dim Atmt As Attachment
        Dim FileName As String
        Dim Num As Integer
        Dim cnt3
        Dim SF
        Dim Loc
        Dim bearer
        Dim companies
        Dim f2 As New Form2
        Dim minval
        Dim Rf
        Dim Rj
        Dim UrL
        Dim FileType
        Dim Bodytext As String
        SF = f2.TextBox6.Text
        Loc = f2.TextBox5.Text
        bearer = f2.TextBox2.Text

        minval = f2.TextBox4.Text
        UrL = f2.TextBox1.Text
        Rf = f2.TextBox7.Text
        Rj = f2.TextBox8.Text
