2.3 Custom Implementation using Scribd API

 SmartDoc.in

The Scribd API is a REST-based API with methods for uploading, converting,
editing, deleting, and searching documents. Using the API, one can use Scribd
as a back-end for an application that needs to process documents.

Following are the steps for embedding Scribd API in C#.Net

1. Download the class library

Download the class library. Paste in bin folder and give reference.

http://www.codeplex.com/scribdnet

2. Hard Code the following code:

 To have started with the following details must be available:
 Your Scribd API Key
 Your Scribd Secret Key
 Your Scribd Publisher Id
 A Scribd Developer Account (Username and password)

a) Set up your environment using the Scribd.Net.Service static class:

// Set up keys
Scribd.Net.Service.APIKey = "MyAPIKey";
Scribd.Net.Service.SecretKey = "MySecretKey";
Scribd.Net.Service.EnforceSigning = true;
Scribd.Net.Service.PublisherID = "MyPublisherId"; // Optional

// Set up web proxy (if needed)

Scribd.Net.Service.WebProxy = myWebProxy;

b) After you've set up the Scribd.Net.Service properties, you can log in:
 SmartDoc.in

// Called after setting up the Scribd.Net.Service properties.

void LoginUser()
{
// Subscribe to events
Scribd.Net.User.LoggedIn +=new
EventHandler<UserEventArgs>(User_LoggedIn);

// Sign into the service

bool signInResult = Scrib.Net.User.Login ("MyUsername",
"MyPassword");
}

// This method is called on successful login.

static void User_LoggedIn(object sender, UserEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", (sender as Scribd.Net.User).Name);
}

c) The client library consists of several top-level objects:

 Scribd.Net namespace.
 Scribd.Net.Service class.
 Scribd.Net.Document class.
 Scribd.Net.User class.
 Scribd.Net.Search class.

For eg :To upload a file the following code can be written in :

// Set up upload notification

 SmartDoc.in

Scribd.Net.Document.Uploaded +=new
EventHandler<DocumentEventArgs>(Document_Uploaded);

// Send our PDF document to Scribd.

Scribd.Net.Document settings =
Scribd.Net.Document.Upload(@"C:\world.pdf");

// Tell me what the new document id is...

Console.WriteLine("Document Id is {0}",
settings.DocumentId.ToString());
