This is a .NET6 client for data.altinn.no APIs that makes it easy to consume published datasets in your .NET6 (or later) based integrations.
Get latest release from nuget.org. Pre-release packages are available on Github
As of version 3.x, Altinn.ApiClients.Dan no longer depends on Altinn.ApiClients.Maskinporten for authentication against data.altinn.no, but its use is still recommended for most cases. In order for the Dan client to authenticate, you must provide a HttpMessageHandler. Using the extension methods provided by Altinn.ApiClients.Maskinporten is a convenient way of getting a handler that gets a Maskinporten access token. See Altinn.ApiClients.Maskinporten documentation on the different options available and how you can implement your custom provider if needed.
Configuration for DAN should be made available via the standard IConfiguration mechanism; the use of the IOptions pattern is not mandatoary. Add the section below to your appsettings.json (or other configuration store). You can name the sections what you want; you'll refer them in the next step.
{
"MyDanSettings": {
// "dev" is the development environment for bleeding edge,
// "staging" is the pre-prod environment and "prod" is production
"Environment": "dev",
"SubscriptionKey": "08f396cb9162478b9fd00daa3e161ef6"
}
}In Startup.cs, add the following to your ConfigureServices-method:
public class Startup {
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// This registers an IDanClient for injection in your application code. Note that
// this does not perform any authentication.
services.AddDanClient(Configuration.GetSection("MyDanSettings"));
// This does the same, but configures it to use Newtonsoft.Json instead of
// the default System.Text.Json deserializer using custom serializer settings
services.AddDanClient<Pkcs12ClientDefinition>(sp => new DanConfiguration
{
// Use Newtonsoft.Json instead of System.Text.Json
Deserializer = new JsonNetDeserializer {
SerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
DateFormatString = "yyyy_MM_dd"
}
}
});
// Using DAN with Altinn.ApiClients.Maskinporten. Here we use the extension methods provided by
// that library to first register a client definition instance and the attach it as a HttpMessageHandler
// to DAN.
services.RegisterMaskinportenClientDefinition<SettingsJwkClientDefinition>("my-client-definition-for-dan",
Configuration.GetSection("MaskinportenSettingsForDanClient"));
services
.AddDanClient(Configuration.GetSection("DanSettings"))
.AddMaskinportenHttpMessageHandler<SettingsJwkClientDefinition>("my-client-definition-for-dan");
}
}public class MyDanClient
{
private readonly IDanClient _danClient;
public MyDanClient(IDanClient danClient)
{
_danClient = danClient;
}
public void DoStuff()
{
var datasetname = "UnitBasicInformation";
var subject = "991825827";
// Gets a generic dataset which can be iterated
DataSet dataset = await _danClient.GetDataSet(datasetname, subject);
foreach (var dsv in dataset.Values)
{
// Do something with dsv.Name and dsv.Value
}
// If you have a model for the dataset you're getting you can map it directly
UnitBasicInformation result = await _danClient.GetDataSet<UnitBasicInformation>(datasetname, subject);
}
