2. Preparing a Project

In Visual Studio:

  1. Create a New Project:

    • Open Visual Studio and select Create a new project.
    • Choose the Console Application (.NET Core) template and create the project.

  2. Check System.Net.Http Namespace:

    • HttpClient is included by default. No additional installation is required.

Using the CLI:

  1. Create a Project:

    dotnet new console -n HttpClientExample
cd HttpClientExample

  2. Install the Package (if necessary):

    dotnet add package System.Net.Http

Once you have .NET(C#) and HttpClient installed, follow these steps to execute the generated code:

  1. Open a IDE/text editor ✍️ (Visual Studio, VS Code or any other text editor).
  2. Copy the generated code 📋 from API Dash.
  3. Paste the code into your project. ex) prgoram.cs

In Visual Studio:

  1. Click the Start Debugging (F5) button from the top menu to run the project.
  2. The output window will display the API response.

Using the CLI:

  1. Open the terminal at the project root directory and run the following command:

JavaScript (axios)

Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

1. Installation:

-Ensure Node.js and npm are installed. Verify by running:

node --version
npm --version

-If not, download from Node.js Official Website.

-Initialize a new Node.js project:

npm init -y

-Install Axios:

npm install axios

2. Running the Generated Code::

-Create a new JavaScript file (e.g., app.js). -Copy and paste the generated code into this file. -Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory. -Run the script:

node app.js

JavaScript (fetch)

macOS, Linux, and Windows:

1. Node.js:

-Follow the same steps as above to install Node.js.

2. Set Up a New Project:

-Create a new project folder and navigate into it

mkdir fetch-example
cd fetch-example

-Initialize the project:

npm init -y

3. Ensure Fetch API Support:

-Starting with Node.js 18, the Fetch API is built-in. Verify the version:

node --version

-If you’re using an earlier version, install a Fetch polyfill:

npm install node-fetch

4. Create and Run the Code:

-Save the generated code in a file, e.g., fetch_example.js. -If using node-fetch, add this line at the top of your file:

const fetch = require('node-fetch');

-Run the code:

node fetch_example.js

node.js (JavaScript, axios)

macOS, Linux, and Windows:

1.Install Node.js:

-Follow the installation steps above.

2.Set Up a New Project:

-Create a new project directory:

mkdir node-axios-example
cd node-axios-example

-Initialize the project:

npm init -y

3.Install Axios:

-Install the Axios library:

npm install axios

4.Create and Run the Code:

-Save the generated code in a file( e.g., app.js). -Run the code:

node app.js

node.js (JavaScript, fetch)

macOS, Linux, and Windows:

1. Install Node.js:

-Follow the installation steps above.

2. Set Up a New Project:

Create a project directory:

mkdir node-fetch-example
cd node-fetch-example

3.Initialize the project:

npm init -y

4.Ensure Fetch API Support:

-If using Node.js 18 or newer, the Fetch API is already built-in. -For older versions, install the node-fetch package:

npm install node-fetch

5.Create and Run the Code:

-Save the generated code in a file( e.g., app.js). -If using node-fetch, add the following line to the top of the file:

const fetch = require('node-fetch');

-Run the file:

node app.js

Python (requests)

Here are the detailed instructions for running the generated API Dash code in Python (using requests) for macOS, Windows, and Linux:

1. Install Python:

macOS:

Windows:

  • Go to the official Python website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
  • Download the latest version for Windows and run the installer. During installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH."

Linux:

  • Most Linux distributions come with Python pre-installed. To check if Python is already installed, open the terminal and type:
python3 --version
  • If it's not installed, you can install it via your package manager:

    • On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

      sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3

    • On Fedora/CentOS-based systems:

      sudo dnf install python3

2. Install the requests library:

macOS and Linux:

Open the terminal and type the following command to install the requests library using pip:

pip3 install requests

Windows:

Open Command Prompt (or PowerShell) and type the following command to install the requests library using pip:

pip install requests

3. Execute the generated code:

Once you have Python and requests installed, follow these steps to execute the generated code:

  1. Open a text editor ✍️ (like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or any code editor like Visual Studio Code).
  2. Copy the generated code 📋 from API Dash.
  3. Paste the code into the text editor 🔄.
  4. Save the file 💾 with a .py extension, such as api_test.py.

This makes the steps a little more visual and fun!

macOS and Linux:

  1. Open the Terminal.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you saved the .py file. For example:
cd /path/to/your/file
  1. Run the Python script by typing the following command:
python3 api_test.py

Windows:

  1. Open Command Prompt (or PowerShell).
  2. Navigate to the directory where you saved the .py file. For example:
cd C:\path\to\your\file
  1. Run the Python script by typing the following command:
python api_test.py

Python (http.client)

Here are the detailed instructions for running the generated API Dash code in Python using http.client:

1. Install Python:

Check out the instructions here for detailed steps on how to install Python on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

2. http.client is a built-in library:

Unlike other Python libraries (like requests), http.client is part of Python's standard library. You can directly use it without any additional installation steps.
