Integrate Multiple Services With Just One API
CloudRail is an API integration solution which abstracts multiple APIs from different providers into a single and universal interface.
Current Interfaces:

With CloudRail, you can easily integrate external APIs into your application. CloudRail provides abstracted interfaces that take several services and then exposes a developer-friendly API that uses common functions between all providers. This means that, for example, Upload() works in exactly the same way for Dropbox as it does for Google Drive, OneDrive, and other Cloud Storage Services, and GetEmail() works similarly the same way across all social networks.
Just add download and the DLL cloudrail-si-xamarin-ios-sdk.dll file to your project reference
In the Project Navigator, open the source file of your application delegate. Add the import statement at the top of the file, then add the following call to CloudRail in the didFinishLaunching or didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method of your app delegate:

-
Consistent Interfaces: As functions work the same across all services, you can perform tasks between services simply.
-
Easy Authentication: CloudRail includes easy ways to authenticate, to remove one of the biggest hassles of coding for external APIs.
-
Switch services instantly: One line of code is needed to set up the service you are using. Changing which service is as simple as changing the name to the one you wish to use.
-
Simple Documentation: There is no searching around Stack Overflow for the answer. The CloudRail documentation at https://cloudrail.com/integrations is regularly updated, clean, and simple to use.
-
No Maintenance Times: The CloudRail Libraries are updated when a provider changes their API.
-
Direct Data: Everything happens directly in the Library. No data ever passes a CloudRail server.
If you don't know how to start or just want to have a look at how to use our SDK in a real use case, we created a few sample application which you can try out:
- Sample using the CloudStorage interface: UnifiedCloudStorage
CloudRail provides a developer portal which offers usage insights for the SDKs and allows you to generate license keys.
It's free to sign up and generate a key.
