<h2>Article Reader API</h2>
<p>PocketSharp 2.0 implements a new <strong>Reader API</strong>.</p>
<p>This API does _not _use the official (and private) Article View API by Pocket. It is based on a custom PCL port of NReadability and SgmlReader, which are included in the solution.</p>
<h3>What's it all about?</h3>
<p>The Reader API extracts the main content of a website and returns the extracted content as HTML and it's associated title (which should already be available in the <code>PocketItem</code>).</p>
<p>This content can be encapsulated in a <code>&lt;body&gt;</code>-Tag and displayed as a readable website with a custom CSS (it's up to you!).</p>
<h3>Implementation</h3>
<p>As with all PocketSharp implementations you have to require the main namespace and it's model namespace:</p>
<p><pre class="language-clike"><code>
using PocketSharp;
using PocketSharp.Models;</code></pre></p>
<p>The <code>PocketReader</code> is a seperated class with it's own <code>HttpClient</code>. Create an instance of it:</p>
<p><pre class="language-clike"><code>
PocketReader reader = new PocketReader();</code></pre></p>
<p><code>PocketReader</code> needs a <code>PocketItem</code> as a parameter to correctly identify its <code>ID</code> and <code>Uri</code>. With this requirement you can successfully query for an articles content.<br>
Don't forget exception handling in case a website is down or not accessible.</p>
<p><pre class="language-clike"><code>
PocketArticle article;
try
{
article = await reader.Read(myPocketItem);
// PocketArticle: {
// int PocketItemID
// string Content
// string Title
// string NextPageUrl
// }
}
catch (PocketException exc)
{
// handle exception
}

You can find examples for Silverlight 5, WP8 and WPF in the `PocketSharp.Examples` ([@github](https://github.com/ceee/PocketSharp/tree/master/PocketSharp.Examples)) folder.
## Async Support
All public methods, which communicate with the Pocket servers are asynchronous. So they should be called with the preceding `await` keyword, and the encapsulated method marked with `async`.
_In PocketSharp versions < 1.0.0 all methods lacked async support and were blocking._
## What's next
Next is Reading API support (with NReadability implementation). Release: Mid October.
## Usage Example
Request a [Consumer Key on Pocket.](http://getpocket.com/developer/apps/)
Include the PocketSharp namespace and it's associated models (you will need them later):
```csharp
using PocketSharp;
using PocketSharp.Models;
```
Initialize PocketClient with:
```csharp
PocketClient _client = new PocketClient("[YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY]", "[YOUR_ACCESS_CODE]");
```
Do a simple request - e.g. a search for `CSS`:
```csharp
var items = await _client.Search("css");
items.ForEach(
item => Debug.WriteLine(item.ID + " | " + item.Title)
);
```
Which will output:
330361896 | CSS Front-end Frameworks with comparison : By usabli.ca
345541438 | Editr - HTML, CSS, JavaScript playground
251743431 | CSS Architecture
343693149 | CSS3 Transitions - Thank God We Have A Specification!
...
## Create an instance
Constructor:
```csharp
PocketClient(string consumerKey, string accessCode = null, Uri callbackUri = null)
```
`consumerKey`: The API key
<br>
`accessCode`: Provide an access code if the user is already authenticated
<br>
`callbackUri`: The callback URL is called by Pocket after authentication
Example:
```csharp
PocketClient _client = new PocketClient(
consumerKey: "123498237423498723498723",
callbackUri: new Uri("http://ceecore.com"),
accessCode: "097809-oi987-izi8-jk98-oiuu89"
);
```
You can change the _Access Code_ after initialization:
```csharp
_client.AccessCode = "[YOU_ACCESS_CODE]";
```
**Before authentication** you will need to provide the `callbackUri` for authentication requests.
<br>
**After authentication** you will need to provide the `accessCode`.
## Account Authentication
In order to communicate with a Pocket User, you will need a consumer key (which is generated by [creating a new application on Pocket](http://getpocket.com/developer/apps/)) and an **Access Code**.
The authentication is a 3-step process:
#### 1) Generate authentication URI
Receive the **request code** and **authentication URI** from the library by calling `string GetRequestCode()`:
```csharp
string requestCode = await _client.GetRequestCode();
// 0f453f2d-1605-8584-28fd-39af8e
Uri authenticationUri = _client.GenerateAuthenticationUri();
// https://getpocket.com/auth/authorize?request_token=0f453f2d-1605-8584-28fd-39af8e&redirect_uri=http%253a%252f%252fceecore.com
```
The _request code_ is stored internally, but you can also provide it as param in `GenerateAuthenticationUri(string requestCode = null)`.
#### 2) Redirect to Pocket
Next you need to redirect the user to the `authenticationUri`, which displays a prompt to grant permissions for the application (see image). After the user granted or denied, he/she is redirected to the `callbackUri`.
![authentication screen](https://raw.github.com/ceee/PocketSharp/master/PocketSharp/authentication-screen.png)
#### 3) Get Access Code
Call `Task<string> GetAccessCode(string requestCode = null)`
```csharp
string accessCode = await _client.GetAccessCode();
// fa8bfc16-69b3-4d22-7db7-84a58d
```
Again, the received _access code_ is stored internally.
Note that `GetAccessCode` can only be called with an existing _request code_. If you need to re-authenticate a user, start again with Step 1).
#### Important
**Be sure to permanently store the _Access Code_ for your user.**
<br>
Without it you would always have to redo the authentication process.
## Account Registration
The `RegisterAccount` method exists in Pocket API v3, but is currently undocumented.
<br>The user cannot authenticate directly after registration, as the account has to be activated via an opt-in link, which is sent to the e-mail address.
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.RegisterAccount("myUsername", "me@mymail.com", "mypassword");
```
After registration you have to remind the user to check his/her mail account.
## Get
Get list of all items:
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Get();
// equivalent to: await _client.Get(RetrieveFilter.All)
```
Get a list with specific parameters (explanation in the [Pocket Docs](http://getpocket.com/developer/docs/v3/retrieve)):
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Get(
State? state = null,
bool? favorite = null,
string tag = null,
ContentType? contentType = null,
Sort? sort = null,
string search = null,
string domain = null,
DateTime? since = null,
int? count = null,
int? offset = null
);
```
It's best to use parameters as _named parameters_, to avoid typing `null` values:
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Get(count: 10, offset: 20, sort: Sort.oldest);
```
Get item by ID:
```csharp
PocketItem item = await _client.Get(1298198);
```
Find items by a tag:
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.SearchByTag("tutorial");
```
Find items by a search string.
<br>PocketSharp uses an internal search, which is significantly faster than the Search API by Pocket.
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Search("css");
```
Find items by a search string by already available items:
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Search(myPocketItemList, "css");
```
Get all tags:
```csharp
List<PocketTag> items = await _client.GetTags();
```
Get a filtered list:
```csharp
List<PocketItem> items = await _client.Get(RetrieveFilter.Favorite);
// returns favorites only
```
The RetrieveFilter Enum is specified as follows:
```csharp
enum RetrieveFilter { All, Unread, Archive, Favorite, Article, Video, Image }
```
## Add
Adds a new item to your pocket list.
Accepts four parameters, with `uri` being required.
```csharp
Task<PocketItem> Add(Uri uri, string[] tags = null, string title = null, string tweetID = null)
```
Example:
```csharp
PocketItem newItem = await _client.Add(
new Uri("http://www.neowin.net/news/full-build-2013-conference-sessions-listing-revealed"),
new string[] { "microsoft", "neowin", "build" }
);
```
The title can be included for cases where an item does not have a title, which is typical for image or PDF URLs. If Pocket detects a title from the content of the page, this parameter will be ignored.
If you are adding Pocket support to a Twitter client, please send along a reference to the tweet status id (with the tweetID). This allows Pocket to show the original tweet alongside the article.
## Modify
All Modify methods accept either the itemID (as int) or a `PocketItem` as parameter.
Archive the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.Archive(myPocketItem);
```
Un-archive the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.Unarchive(myPocketItem);
```
Favorites the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.Favorite(myPocketItem);
```
Un-favorites the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.Unfavorite(myPocketItem);
```
Deletes the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.Delete(myPocketItem);
```
#### Modify tags
Add tags to the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.AddTags(myPocketItem, new string[] { "css", "2013" });
```
Remove tags from the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.RemoveTags(myPocketItem, new string[] { "css", "2013" });
```
Remove all tags from the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.RemoveTags(myPocketItem);
```
Replaces all existing tags with new ones for the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.ReplaceTags(myPocketItem, new string[] { "css", "2013" });
```
Renames a tag for the specified item:
```csharp
bool isSuccess = await _client.RenameTag(myPocketItem, "oldTagName", "newTagName");
```
## Statistics
The Pocket API supports retrieval of a simple statistics object.
```csharp
PocketStatistics statistics = await client.Statistics();
// PocketStatistics: [CountAll], [CountRead], [CountUnread]
```
