Overview

The Tsplice .NET API can be used in a client defines classes that allow a .NET application to interact with a Tsplice host. This API consists of the following:Generally speaking, the flow of code is as follows:

Create an instance of a TPRI.Tsplice.Client - This class can be used to send a request to the Tsplice host and parse its response
TPRI.Tsplice.Models - The classes in this namespace represent the different types of data sent to or received from the Tsplice host
ApiResponse and derived classes - These classes represent the responses returned from the Tsplice host, and typically wrap a model object containing the specific response data

TPRI.Tsplice.Client

Overview

Properties

There are two types of timers covered by these libraries: wall clock timers and set interval timers.

Methods

The Tsplice Client methods are grouped below by function.

Authentication & Authorization

The following functions can be used to authenticate and authorize a user via the Tsplice API

            CancellationToken cancelToken = default)

Shared Files and Folders

The following functions can be used to interact with shared folders and files on the Tsplice host system.

...

title	Get Files

...

class and set the URI of the Tsplice host.
Call member functions of the client class to send to or retrieve data from a Tsplice host.
Process the response data objects and/or handle exceptions thrown by the client method.

Response Data

Every Tsplice client method returns a TPRI.Tsplice.Models.ApiResponse object:

For methods that return data, the data itself is contained in the Value property of the ApiResponse.
For methods that retrieve a file from the host, the returned object is a FileResponse object (derived from ApiResponse) with properties such as LocalPath indicating where the file has been downloaded locally.

Error Handling

Any error that occurs during a Tsplice client method will throw an exception:

If the exception is specific to the Tsplice interface, a TPRI.Tsplice.ClientException will be thrown with an ErrorCode property indicating the type of error and a Message property providing some description of the problem.
Other exceptions may be thrown depending on the type of error e.g. local file I/O exception, JSON serialization exception, etc.

If a Tsplice client method returns without an exception, then the call completed successfully.

Async vs. Sync

All Tsplice client calls are async calls intended to be awaited.

Code Block
// Request the system status var response = await client.GetSystemStatus();

If async calls are not possible in the calling application, the Tsplice client class offers a Sync(..) method that can be used to wrap any client async method:

Code Block
// Request the system status var response = TPRI.Tsplice.Client.Sync(() => client.GetSystemStatus());

Cancelling Long-Running Requests

Each client method includes an optional cancelToken parameter that can be used to interrupt and cancel a long-running call.

Code Block

// Create a cancellation source
CancelSource = new CancellationTokenSource();

//...

try
   {
   // Download a bunch of files from the Tsplice host
   var response = await client.GetSharedFiles("SharedFolder", "*",

CancellationToken cancelToken = default) ///-----------------------------------------------------------------

Example

Following is an example usage of the Tsplice client:

Code Block

var client = new TPRI.Tsplice.Client();
client.BaseUri = new Uri("https://www.somewhere.com");

try
   {
   // Request a shared file from the Tsplice host
   var response = await client.GetSharedFile(sharePath, localPath);
   // ...
   }
catch (Exception ex)
   {
   MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
   }
