Examples

You can see examples in the tests project but the API is simple to use:

var giantBomb = new GiantBombRestClient("your token");

var game = giantBomb.GetGame(id);

You can unit test by programming against the interface and injecting the dependency:

public class MyClass {
    public MyClass() {
        GiantBomb = new GiantBombRestClient(apiKey);
    }

    public MyClass(IGiantBombRestClient giantBomb) {
        GiantBomb = giantBomb;
    }

    protected IGiantBombRestClient GiantBomb { get; private set; }
}

You can use any DI framework of your choice.

Filtering

The new API v2 supports filtering on list resources. With GBC#, you can add filtering like this:

var filters = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
  {"id", 556}
};

return gbClient.GetReleases(filter: filters);

The API also supports multiple values for certain fields, like ID, separated by | (pipes):

var ids = new string[] { 667.ToString(), 332.ToString() };

var filters = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
  {"id", String.Join("|", ids)}
};

return gbClient.GetReleases(filter: filters);
