Use the library

Starting V3.0.0 of the library, you will need an IoC and use dependency injection to be able to use the services. This upgrade was made to simplify the integration of the library into new projects.

To use the library you need to install the NuGet package in your project and add the services to your IoC.

HostApplicationBuilder builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddFootballDataService("[FootballDataApiKey]");

To generate the API key, create an account here and pass the API key to the AddFootballDataService method.

Then you will be able to resolve the provider services and to get information from the API. You can find a little example below:

var areaProvider = host.Services.GetRequiredService<IAreaProvider>();

var areas = await areaProvider.GetAllAreas();

Console.WriteLine(areas)

Otherwise you can consult the samples present in this library.
