BookStackApiClient 23.5.0-lib.2

BookStackApiClient

This is BookStack API client library for .NET. (unofficial)
BookStack is a platform for organizing and storing information.

Since this library is a relatively simple mapper for the BookStack API, it should be easy to tie the endpoints and methods described in the BookStack API documentation.
Sorry, IntelliSense messages (documentation comments) for types and members are provided in Japanese. This is because I currently think that the main users are me and the people around me.

Package and API version

Although the BookStack API specification may change from version to version, this library targets only a single version.
If the version targeted by the library does not match the server version, there is a large possibility that it will not work properly.

Package versions are in semantic versioning format, but are numbered according to the following arrangement.
The core version part represents the version of the target server.
The pre-release version part is used to represent the library version, not as a pre-release.
The first of the pre-release version numbers is changed when the library specification changes (binary incompatibility).
The second pre-release version number is changed for bug fixes and other cases where binary compatibility is maintained.

Examples

Some samples are shown below.
These use C#9 or later syntax.

Create books, chapters, and pages.

var apiEntry = new Uri(@"http://<your-hosting-server>/api/");
var apiToken  = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
var apiSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
using var client = new BookStackClient(apiEntry, apiToken, apiSecret);
var book = await client.CreateBookAsync(new("TestBook", tags: new Tag[] { new("test") }));
var chapter = await client.CreateChapterAsync(new(book.id, "TestChapter"));
var page1 = await client.CreateMarkdownPageInBookAsync(new(book.id, "TestPage", "# Test page in book"));
var page2 = await client.CreateMarkdownPageInChapterAsync(new(chapter.id, "TestPage", "# Test page in chapter"));

Display a list of books.

Note the limit on the number of API requests to issue many requests.

using var client = new BookStackClient(apiEntry, apiToken, apiSecret);
try
{
    var offset = 0;
    while (true)
    {
        var books = await client.ListBooksAsync(new(offset, sorts: new[] { "id", }));
        foreach (var book in books.data)
        {
            var detail = await client.ReadBookAsync(book.id);
            var chapters = detail.contents.OfType<BookContentChapter>().Count();
            var pages = detail.contents.OfType<BookContentPage>().Count();
            Console.WriteLine($"{book.id,4}: {book.name}, chapters={chapters}, pages={pages}");
        }

        offset += books.data.Length;
        if (books.data.Length <= 0 || books.total <= offset) break;
    }
}
catch (ApiLimitResponseException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Api Limit: Limit={ex.RequestsPerMin}");
}

Content Search

using var client = new BookStackClient(apiEntry, apiToken, apiSecret);

// search query (see https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/searching/)
var found = await client.SearchAsync(new("search query"));

// list of pages (see https://demo.bookstackapp.com/api/docs#listing-endpoints)
var pages = await client.ListPagesAsync(new(filters: new[] { new Filter("filter", "expression") }));
