Installation

To install DeviantArt.Net, add the following package to your project:

dotnet add package DeviantArt.Net

Usage

Initialization

To use the client, you need to initialize it with your DeviantArt API credentials:

There are two grant types supported: AuthorizationCode and ClientCredentials.

AuthorizationCode

using DeviantArt.Net.Api;

var clientId = "your-client-id";
var clientSecret = "your-client-secret";
var redirectUri = "your-redirect-uri"; // e.g. "http://localhost:8080/"
var tokenStore = new YourTokenStoreImplementation(); // e.g. JsonTokenStore

var client = new Client(clientId, clientSecret, redirectUri, tokenStore);

ClientCredentials

using DeviantArt.Net.Api;

var clientId = "your-client-id";
var clientSecret = "your-client-secret";
var tokenStore = new YourTokenStoreImplementation(); // e.g. JsonTokenStore

var client = new Client(clientId, clientSecret, tokenStore);

Using API Endpoints

All API endpoints are available as methods on the client object. Methods are well-documented and self-explanatory. for example, to fetch a deviation by its ID::

var deviationId = "some-deviation-id";
Deviation deviation = await Client.GetDeviationAsync(deviationId);
Console.WriteLine(deviation.Url);

Customization

DeviantArt.Net uses ITokenStore interface (originally from kamranayub/igdb-dotnet) to store and retrieve tokens. You can implement your own token store by implementing this interface. currently, there are two implementations available: JsonTokenStore and InMemoryTokenStore. To provide your own token store such as a database, you can implement the ITokenStore interface and pass it to the client constructor.

using namespace DeviantArt.Net.Modules.TokenStore;

class CustomTokenStore : ITokenStore {

  Task<DeviantArtAccessToken> GetTokenAsync() {

    // Get token from database, etc.
    var token = // ...
    return token;
  }

  Task<DeviantArtAccessToken> StoreTokenAsync(DeviantArtAccessToken token) {
    // Store new token in database, etc.
    return token;
  }

}

// Create an DeviantArt API client, passing custom token store
var api = new Client(clientId, clientSecret, new CustomTokenStore());
