IronCow - .NET API kit for Remember The Milk

IronCow is a .NET API that wraps the Remember The Milk (RTM) web services in a way that will hopefully make it easy for you to develop applications that consume RTM data. IronCow has two API layers:

The higher level layer is an object model that stays in sync with the server data. It is designed with WPF and Silverlight in mind, or any other framework that uses data binding and/or reflection. As such, it depends, at the moment, on the .NET Framework 3.0. The entry point is the Rtm class.
The lower level layer is a simple wrapper around RTM's REST requests and responses, similar to the Flickr.Net API. The entry point is the RestClient class, which has one .NET method per REST method from the RTM API.

Sample Code

IronCow for Powershell

IronCow ships with some Powershell Cmdlets that bring the power of RTM to the command line! Except for being super cool, it also serves as an example application of the IronCow API, so feel free to look at the code and see how it's done.

Updated Wiki: Sample Code Using The Rtm Class

Sample Code using the Rtm class

Here's a code sample that shows how to use the Rtm class ("layer 2", or "high level" of the IronCow API).

Rtm rtm = new Rtm("your api key", "your shared secret");
rtm.AuthToken = GetAuthenticationToken(); //TODO: get an authentication token

// Have fun!
foreach (TaskList list in rtm.TaskLists)
{
    Console.WriteLine(list.Name);
    foreach (Task task in list.Tasks)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("   - {0}", task.Name);
    }
}

IronCow.Rtm rtm = new IronCow.Rtm(ApiKey, SharedSecret);
string frob = rtm.GetFrob();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(rtm.GetAuthenticationUrl(frob, IronCow.AuthenticationPermissions.Write));   // Run the default browser to open the "authenticate" page on RTM's website.
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue after you have authenticated in the browser...");
Console.ReadLine();
rtm.AuthToken = rtm.GetToken(frob);    // Get the auth-token with the same frob we got earlier.
Console.WriteLine("Successfully authenticated! Got token: " + rtm.AuthToken);

The TaskList and Task objects, along with the other ones you'll get through the Rtm class, are always in sync with the server. If you set their name property, or add or remove elements to them, the appropriate requests are sent behind the scenes.

IronCow - .NET API kit for Remember The Milk

IronCow is a .NET API that wraps the Remember The Milk (RTM) web services in a way that will hopefully make it easy for you to develop applications that consume RTM data. IronCow has two API layers:

The first layer is a simple wrapper around RTM's REST requests and responses, similar to the Flickr.Net API. It's just a class with one .NET method per REST method.
The second layer is a higher level object model that stays in sync with the server data. It is designed with WPF and Silverlight in mind, or any other framework that uses data binding and/or reflection. As such, it depends, at the moment, on the .NET Framework 3.0.

Updated Wiki: Sample Code Using The RestClient Class

ludovic_chabant — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:55:34 GMT

Sample Code using the RestClient class

If you want more control over what requests are sent to Remember The Milk, and you don't care about data binding and object models, you can use the RestClient class, which is just a thin wrapper around the REST requests:

RestClient client = new RestClient("your api key", "your shared secret");
client.AuthToken = GetAuthenticationToken(); //TODO: get authentication token
 
// Have fun!
foreach (RawList list in client.GetLists())
{
    Console.WriteLine(list.Name);
    foreach (RawList tmp in client.GetTasks(list.Id))
    {
        foreach (RawTaskSeries series in tmp.TaskSeries)
        {
            foreach (RawTask task in series.Tasks)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("   - {0}", task.Name);
            }
        }
    }
}

To use the RestClient, it is strongly recommended that you keep the Remember The Milk API methods reference page close by to understand what you get back.

Project Description
IronCow is a .NET API for Remember The Milk, the To-Do list (and much more!) web application. IronCow is designed with WPF and Silverlight applications in mind, making it easy to use data binding and reflection.

Sample Code using the Rtm class

Rtm rtm = new Rtm("your api key", "your shared secret");
rtm.AuthToken = GetAuthenticationToken(); //TODO: get an authentication token
 
// Have fun!
foreach (TaskList list in rtm.TaskLists)
{
    Console.WriteLine(list.Name);
    foreach (Task task in list.Tasks)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("   - {0}", task.Name);
    }
}
