port = 443

bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("api.stripe.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print "ConnectFailReason: "; rest.ConnectFailReason

    Exit Sub
End If

success = rest.SetAuthBasic("STRIPE_SECRET_KEY","")

success = rest.AddQueryParam("pii[personal_id_number]","000000000")
