APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable 1.1.5

Periodic Table API

Periodic Table is a simple tool for getting information about chemical elements. It returns information such as the atomic number, symbol, and more based on the element provided.

This is a .NET Wrapper for the Periodic Table API

Installation

Using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable

Using the Package Manager:

nuget install APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable

Using the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable

From within Visual Studio:

1. Open the Solution Explorer.
2. Right-click on a project within your solution.
3. Click on Manage NuGet Packages...
4. Click on the Browse tab and search for "APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable".
5. Click on the APIVerve.API.PeriodicTable package, select the appropriate version in the right-tab and click Install.

Configuration

Before using the periodictable API client, you have to setup your account and obtain your API Key.
You can get it by signing up at https://apiverve.com

Usage

The Periodic Table API documentation is found here: https://docs.apiverve.com/api/periodictable.
You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.

Setup

Authentication

Periodic Table API uses API Key-based authentication. When you create an instance of the API client, you can pass your API Key as a parameter.

// Create an instance of the API client
var apiClient = new PeriodicTableAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]", true);

Perform Request

Using the API client, you can perform requests to the API.

Define Query

var queryOptions = new PeriodicTableQueryOptions {
  name = "hydrogen"
};

Simple Request

var response = apiClient.Execute(queryOptions);
if(response.error != null) {
	Console.WriteLine(response.error);
} else {
    var jsonResponse = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(response, Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented);
    Console.WriteLine(jsonResponse);
}
