tokenAPI fetches an access token from the Microsoft ID authority for use when calling APIs published on the Kyndryl APIM platform.
The generated code uses the Newtonsoft Json.NET NuGet Package. If the automatic NuGet package restore is enabled, these dependencies will be installed automatically. Therefore, you will need internet access for build.
- Open the solution (TokenAPI.sln) file.
Invoke the build process using Ctrl + Shift + B shortcut key or using the Build menu as shown below.
The build process generates a portable class library, which can be used like a normal class library. More information on how to use can be found at the MSDN Portable Class Libraries documentation.
The supported version is .NET Standard 2.0. For checking compatibility of your .NET implementation with the generated library, click here.
The following section explains how to use the TokenAPI.Standard library in a new project.
For starting a new project, right click on the current solution from the solution explorer and choose Add -> New Project
.
Next, choose Console Application
, provide TestConsoleProject
as the project name and click OK.
The new console project is the entry point for the eventual execution. This requires us to set the TestConsoleProject
as the start-up project. To do this, right-click on the TestConsoleProject
and choose Set as StartUp Project
form the context menu.
In order to use the TokenAPI.Standard
library in the new project, first we must add a project reference to the TestConsoleProject
. First, right click on the References
node in the solution explorer and click Add Reference...
Next, a window will be displayed where we must set the checkbox
on TokenAPI.Standard
and click OK
. By doing this, we have added a reference of the TokenAPI.Standard
project into the new TestConsoleProject
.
Once the TestConsoleProject
is created, a file named Program.cs
will be visible in the solution explorer with an empty Main
method. This is the entry point for the execution of the entire solution. Here, you can add code to initialize the client library and acquire the instance of a Controller class. Sample code to initialize the client library and using Controller methods is given in the subsequent sections.
The generated SDK also contain one or more Tests, which are contained in the Tests project. In order to invoke these test cases, you will need NUnit 3.0 Test Adapter Extension
for Visual Studio. Once the SDK is complied, the test cases should appear in the Test Explorer window. Here, you can click Run All
to execute these test cases.
Note: Documentation for the client can be found here.
The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Timeout |
TimeSpan |
Http client timeout. Default: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100) |
The API client can be initialized as follows:
TokenAPI.Standard.TokenAPIClient client = new TokenAPI.Standard.TokenAPIClient.Builder().Build();
