Installation

Install the package via NuGet Package Manager:

dotnet add package Codacy.Api

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Codacy.Api

Quick Start

1. Authentication Setup

Codacy API uses API Token authentication. You'll need:

1. API Token - Your personal or project API token

Creating API Tokens in Codacy

1. Log into your Codacy account
2. Navigate to Account Settings → Access Management → API Tokens
3. Click Create API Token
4. Configure the token:
   • Name: Your token identifier
   • Scope: Select appropriate permissions for your use case
5. Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once)

using Codacy.Api;

var options = new CodacyClientOptions
{
    ApiToken = "your-api-token-here"
};

var client = new CodacyClient(options);

2. Basic Usage Examples

Working with Organizations

// Use a CancellationToken for all async operations
using var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
var cancellationToken = cts.Token;

// Get organization information
var organization = await client.Organizations.GetAsync("your-org-name", cancellationToken);
Console.WriteLine($"Organization: {organization.Name}");

// List all repositories in the organization
var repositories = await client.Organizations.GetRepositoriesAsync("your-org-name", cancellationToken);
foreach (var repo in repositories)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Repository: {repo.Name}");
}

Working with Repositories

// Get repository information
var repository = await client.Repositories.GetAsync("provider", "organization", "repository", cancellationToken);
Console.WriteLine($"Repository: {repository.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Grade: {repository.Grade}");

// Get repository quality overview
var quality = await client.Repositories.GetQualityAsync("provider", "organization", "repository", cancellationToken);
Console.WriteLine($"Quality Issues: {quality.IssuesCount}");
Console.WriteLine($"Coverage: {quality.Coverage}%");

Working with Analysis

// Get latest analysis for a repository
var analysis = await client.Analysis.GetLatestAsync("provider", "organization", "repository", cancellationToken);
Console.WriteLine($"Analysis Date: {analysis.Timestamp}");
Console.WriteLine($"Issues Found: {analysis.NewIssues}");

// Get commit analysis
var commitAnalysis = await client.Commits.GetAsync("provider", "organization", "repository", "commit-sha", cancellationToken);
Console.WriteLine($"Commit Grade: {commitAnalysis.Grade}");

Working with Issues

// Get issues for a repository
var issues = await client.Issues.GetAllAsync("provider", "organization", "repository", cancellationToken);
foreach (var issue in issues)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Issue: {issue.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Pattern: {issue.PatternId}");
    Console.WriteLine($"File: {issue.File.Path}:{issue.File.Line}");
}

3. Advanced Configuration

Custom HTTP Configuration

var options = new CodacyClientOptions
{
    ApiToken = "your-api-token",
    
    // Custom timeout
    RequestTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30),
    
    // Custom retry policy
    MaxRetryAttempts = 3,
    RetryDelay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
    
    // Use custom base URL (for self-hosted instances)
    BaseUrl = "https://your-codacy-instance.com"
};

var client = new CodacyClient(options);

Logging Configuration

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

// Create a service collection with logging
var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddLogging(builder => builder.AddConsole().SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Debug));

var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
var logger = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ILogger<CodacyClient>>();

var options = new CodacyClientOptions
{
    ApiToken = "your-api-token",
    Logger = logger,
    EnableRequestLogging = true,
    EnableResponseLogging = true
};

var client = new CodacyClient(options);

4. Authentication Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing authentication issues:

1. Verify API Token: Ensure your API token is correct and hasn't been revoked
2. Check Token Permissions: Verify the token has the necessary scopes for your use case
3. Token Expiration: Check if the token has expired (if applicable)
4. Network Connectivity: Ensure your application can reach the Codacy API endpoints
5. Self-Hosted Instances: Verify the correct base URL if using self-hosted Codacy

5. Pagination and Large Result Sets

// Handle pagination automatically
var allIssues = new List<Issue>();
var cursor = (string?)null;

do
{
    var response = await client.Issues.GetPageAsync(
        "provider", 
        "organization", 
        "repository",
        cursor: cursor,
        limit: 100,
        cancellationToken);
    
    allIssues.AddRange(response.Data);
    cursor = response.Pagination?.Cursor;
    
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(cursor));

Console.WriteLine($"Retrieved {allIssues.Count} total issues");

6. Error Handling

try
{
    var repository = await client.Repositories.GetAsync("provider", "org", "repo", cancellationToken);
}
catch (CodacyNotFoundException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Repository not found: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (CodacyAuthenticationException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Authentication failed: {ex.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine("Check your API token and permissions");
}
catch (CodacyApiException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"API error: {ex.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Status code: {ex.StatusCode}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Error details: {ex.ErrorDetails}");
}
