C# UWP/WinRT Example

bool success;

//  URL: https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/SCRUM-13
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;

if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("ConnectFailReason: " + Convert.ToString(rest.ConnectFailReason));
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

rest.SetAuthBasic("jira@example.com","JIRA_API_TOKEN");

rest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json");

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbResponseBody = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();

if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int respStatusCode = rest.ResponseStatusCode;
if (respStatusCode >= 400) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code = " + Convert.ToString(respStatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Header:");
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.ResponseHeader);
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Body:");
    Debug.WriteLine(sbResponseBody.GetAsString());
    return;
}

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonResponse = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody);

int i;
int count_i;
string strVal;

i = 0;
count_i = jsonResponse.SizeOfArray("errorMessages");
while (i < count_i) {
    jsonResponse.I = i;
    strVal = jsonResponse.StringOf("errorMessages[i]");
    i = i + 1;
}
