Login

var loginJson = new JObject();
loginJson["username"] = username;
loginJson["password"] = password;
loginJson["accessrights"] = apiKey;

var serverAddress = string.Format(
    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
    "https://{0}/live/api/v3/",
    hostname);
var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(serverAddress) };

var request = new StringContent(loginJson.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = await client.PostAsync("login", request);

Logout

var request = new StringContent(string.Empty, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = await client.PostAsync("logout", request);

Create a new job

var fullPath = @"the_job_content_full_file_path";  // e.g. d:\business_card.pdf
using (var s = new FileStream(fullPath, FileMode.Open))
{
    var request = new MultipartFormDataContent();
    request.Add(new StreamContent(s), "file", Path.GetFileName(fullPath));

    // override default number of copies to 10 copies
    request.Add(new StringContent("10"), "\"attributes[num copies]\"");

    var response = await client.PostAsync("jobs", request);
}

Get jobs

var response = await client.GetAsync("jobs");

Get single job

var jobId = "the_job_id";  // e.g. 00000000.558895DF.16055
var response = await client.GetAsync("jobs/" + jobId);

Update attributes of a job

var jobId = "the_job_id";  // e.g. 00000000.558895DF.16055

var attributeJson = new JObject();
attributeJson["num copies"] = "1";

var jobJson = new JObject();
jobJson["attributes"] = attributeJson;

var request = new StringContent(jobJson.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = await client.PutAsync("jobs/" + jobId, request);

Print a job

var jobId = "the_job_id";  // e.g. 00000000.558895DF.16055
var response = await client.PutAsync("jobs/" + jobId + "/print", null);

Get job preview

var jobId = "the_job_id";  // e.g. 00000000.558895DF.16055
var response = await client.GetAsync("jobs/" + jobId + "/preview/1");
