This is a set of simple samples written in C#/.NET, which provide a minimal example of Google Shopping integration within a command line application.

This starter project provides a great place to start your experimentation into the Google Content API for Shopping and/or the Manufacturer Center API.

Please make sure that you're using either

• Visual Studio,
• Xamarin Studio, or
• MonoDevelop

with NuGet package management. NuGet will handle getting all the dependencies for you with the package configuration in these projects.

If you have not already done so, please read the top-level README to discover how to set up both authentication and the common sample configuration. The rest of this document assumes you have performed both tasks.

We are assuming you've checked out the code and are reading this from a local directory. If not, check out the code to a local directory and load up the solution. You will need to Restore NuGet Packages as well to pull in the dependencies. (The IDEs listed above all support this.)

1. Build and run any of the included projects. There are three:

   • ShoppingContent - .NET Framework 4.5 compatible project for main Content API samples
   • Orders - .NET Framework 4.5 compatible project for Content API Orders service workflow sample
   • Manufacturers - .NET Framework 4.5 compatible project for the Manufacturer Center API

2. Examine your shell output, be inspired and start hacking an amazing new app!
