In this post I want to show you how to create a very simple Windows Console client for The Smart Shopping List using Visual Studio & the RestSharp REST library.

• Create a Windows Console Application using Visual Studio

• Download RestSharp Nuget Package

• Add the following code

• When you build & run the application you should get an output similar to this:

You could also create, read, update & delete (CRUD) Stores, Product Categories, Products & Shopping List. Please check this post for more information.   

You can access The Smart Shopping List Web Api from any client as follows:

• Join/Register to use The Smart Shopping List

• On the Edit Shopper screen press Save

• When The Smart Shopping List Home page displays then you are registered

• Now point your favorite client to https://webapi.smartshoppinglist.net and provide the following headers:

Accept: application/vnd.cyberbizsoft.ssl+xml

Authorization: Basic Your-User-ID:Your-Password (Base64 encoded)

When using POST, PUT & DELETE you must also add:

Content-Type: application/vnd.cyberbizsoft.ssl+xml

The entry point will provide the links that are available and as you add stores, products, etc. the application state will be updated.
