Getting started

Using the Nuget Package

The SDK is published to the public Nuget package repository.

Open the package manager and add the package to your project:

Examples

The SDK supports async operations.

var client = ApiClient.GetApiClientWithClientCredentials("my_api_key", "my_api_secret");
var searchResult = await client.SearchImagesEditorial()
    .WithEditorialSegment(EditorialSegment.News)
    .WithPhrase("all vocabulary")
    .WithSortOrder(SortOrder.Newest)
    .ExecuteAsync();

foreach (var image in searchResult.images)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Title: {0} \r\nId: {1}", image.title, image.id);
}

The SDK can also be used synchonously, such as when running in a console application:

var client = ApiClient.GetApiClientWithClientCredentials("my_api_key", "my_api_secret");
var searchResult = client.SearchImagesEditorial()
    .WithEditorialSegment(EditorialSegment.News)
    .WithPhrase("all vocabulary")
    .WithSortOrder(SortOrder.Newest)
    .ExecuteAsync()
    .Result;

foreach (var image in searchResult.images)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Title: {0} \r\nId: {1}", image.title, image.id);
}

Results are returned as dynamic. Visit the API Interactive Documentation to learn more about available parameters and to see what the response object look like.
