Make your i-doit API calls in C#

i-doit stands for „I document IT“. By using i-doit you obtain the “point of information” for all your IT processes. Everything, that needs to be documented is centralized in one single spot.

Updates are carried out automatically or manually. This gives you a comprehensive overview of your IT.

However, with i-doit you do not document your hardware only. You also have a full-fledged CMDB at hand, with which you can interrelate all aspects of your IT environment.

The Idoit.API.Client is going to make your work faster and more efficient, especially in the work relating to Visual studio. You will be able to open a user session, which will help you to save resources on the server side and will additionally allow to perform more calls in a shorter time frame.

By using the request and response HTTP headers, the Idoit.API.Client will help you to search for objects and furthermore to get the current version of i-doit.

Relating to objects, this library will help you to search for them as well as create, delete, archive, purge, update and read objects and read object types.

In addition you will be able to create, delete, archive, purge, update and read multi-value categories and single-value categories.

The following requirements are necessary before installing or using the Idoit.API.Client.

• A running instance of i-doit pro or open, version 1.12.4 or higher
• i-doit API add-on, version 1.10.3 or higher
• Windows 7 or 10

            Console.WriteLine("The currently i-doit type is: " + "'" + response.type + "'" );
            Console.WriteLine("The steps are: " + "'" + response.step+"'" );
