A .NET client library for the HP IDOL OnDemand API's. Work in progress, and at present only synchronous calls will work. Async coming...

You will need an API key for IDOL OnDemand - get one here : https://www.idolondemand.com/signup.html See this post for more info on creating your key: https://nwrightnz.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/hello-world/

To use, first add a config file to your application. Add the following sections (substituting your api key in the field below)

<appSettings>
    <add key="BaseUrl" value="https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api"/>
    <add key="ApiKey" value =  "TOCOMPLETE"/>
  </appSettings>

follow the code snippet below:

using IDOLOnDemand.Model;
using IDOLOnDemand.Response;
using IDOLOnDemand.Helpers;

string text = "This is a good message to test the sentiment analysis engine with. I hope it works.";
            SentimentAnalysis analysis = new SentimentAnalysis()
            {
                Text = text ,
                Language = SentimentAnalysis.LanguageSelection.Eng
            };
            var response = analysis.Execute();

            Console.WriteLine("The string '" + text + "'  had a " +  response.aggregate.sentiment + " sentiment. Its scoring was : " + response.aggregate.score);
            Console.ReadLine();

The pattern for the other API calls is the same. Create the model (in this case sentiment analysis) , add the required parameters (see https://www.idolondemand.com/developer/apis for more info), then call the Response method. This returns JSON that has been deserialized into objects for ease of use.
