Installation

Generate the DLL using your preferred tool (e.g. dotnet build)

Then include the DLL (under the bin folder) in the C# project, and use the namespaces:

using ManticoreSearch.Api;
using ManticoreSearch.Client;
using ManticoreSearch.Model;

Usage

To use the API client with a HTTP proxy, setup a System.Net.WebProxy

Configuration c = new Configuration();
System.Net.WebProxy webProxy = new System.Net.WebProxy("http://myProxyUrl:80/");
webProxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
c.Proxy = webProxy;

Connections

Each ApiClass (properly the ApiClient inside it) will create an instance of HttpClient. It will use that for the entire lifecycle and dispose it when called the Dispose method.

To better manager the connections it's a common practice to reuse the HttpClient and HttpClientHandler (see here for details). To use your own HttpClient instance just pass it to the ApiClass constructor.

HttpClientHandler yourHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
HttpClient yourHttpClient = new HttpClient(yourHandler);
var api = new YourApiClass(yourHttpClient, yourHandler);

If you want to use an HttpClient and don't have access to the handler, for example in a DI context in Asp.net Core when using IHttpClientFactory.

HttpClient yourHttpClient = new HttpClient();
var api = new YourApiClass(yourHttpClient);

You'll loose some configuration settings, the features affected are: Setting and Retrieving Cookies, Client Certificates, Proxy settings. You need to either manually handle those in your setup of the HttpClient or they won't be available.

Here an example of DI setup in a sample web project:

services.AddHttpClient<YourApiClass>(httpClient =>
   new PetApi(httpClient));

            try
            {
                // Bulk index operations
                BulkResponse result = apiInstance.Bulk(body);
                Debug.WriteLine(result);

            // Create SearchRequest
            var searchRequest = new SearchRequest("test");
            searchRequest.FulltextFilter = new QueryFilter("Title 1"); 

            try
            {
                // Perform a search
                SearchResponse result = apiInstance.Search(searchRequest);
                Debug.WriteLine(result);
            }
