:globe_with_meridians: An asynchronous .NET library of API wrappers designed to help with typical bot commands.

common-bot-library's Issues

Refactor tests to mock HTTP requests

Automate nuget build

• Need an accurate .csproj or .nuspec for NuGet
• Cake script?

Add ImgurService

https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/search?q=query
Also take note of their compound query capabilities (including file extension choice!)

Add ITriviaService

Implementation: https://opentdb.com/

Target .NET Standard 1.3

• Wait for RedditSharp to push a version after 2.0.0-CI00028.
• Conform RedditService to API changes.

Standardize exceptions and params

If something can't be null, throw an ArgumentNullException.

Also, go through each service and see which actually return an HTTP code on failure (essentially resulting in a thrown HttpRequestException) and which do not. Maybe the custom exceptions can be removed in favor of something built in?

Improve OWM Service

Pulling from the XML API will net more useful fields (like a city/country code?).
Look into the newest JSON.NET release which might do the XML parsing.

Add Cloud APIs

The do-able ones:

Google

• Vision
  • FREE
  • includes color detection

Yandex

• Translation
  • has language detection
  • inferior competition
    • Microsoft's requires a new token every 10m
    • Bluemix's doesn't have language detection
    • Google's isn't free

Bluemix

• Personality insights
  • FREE
  • requires body of text

Perf improvements

For services that use third party SDKs, store the wrapped service instance as a private member rather than the API key. This avoids having to reinitialize the instance each time a request is made.
