DotVGN - .NET Client for VAG/VGN API

Install

The easiest way to get started is to install the package from NuGet or GitHub Packages:

dotnet add package DotVgn

Usage

Dependency Injection

The package integrates seamlessly with ServiceCollection.

// Provide another base endpoint
services.AddDotVgnClient(opt => {
    opt.BaseEndpoint = new Uri(...) // Optional
});

Manual Initialization

Create client instances directly without dependency injection:

// No arguments to use defaults
var client = new VgnClient();

Samples
