FW: c#

[James Morley]

Hi all

I've had this question in to our a...@europeana.eu mailbox and we're not aware of any examples, but maybe someone on this list has used c# and the Europeana API?

If so, let me know and I'll pass it on.

Cheers, James

IMO, it is best to use jQuery, d3.json or something like that within a C# page.  The example below uses the Europeana API within C# pages, but it is really Javascript that does all of the API work.

Otherwise, follow these steps:

1) Get Newtonsoft.Json from NuGet then add it as a Reference
2) Add this to a C# web form:  using Newtonsoft.Json;

Then you can call the REST API in code-behind.  Here is a super simplistic example:


        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
            {
                // download json from url
                var json = webClient.DownloadString("http://europeana.eu/api/v2/search.json?query=foo&wskey=YOURKEY");
                // Now parse with JSON.Net
                Object m_data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Object>(json);

                Literal1.Text = m_data.ToString();
