FreeAPI.md 2024-07-07

1. Set up the HttpClient in your Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)


{
services.AddHttpClient<IOpenTripMapService, OpenTripMapService>(client =>
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://api.opentripmap.com/0.1/en/");
});

services.AddControllersWithViews();
}

2. Create the OpenTripMap service:

Services/IOpenTripMapService.cs:

using System.Threading.Tasks;

public interface IOpenTripMapService


{
Task<string> GetPlacesAsync(string query);
}

Services/OpenTripMapService.cs:

using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class OpenTripMapService : IOpenTripMapService


{
private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;

public OpenTripMapService(HttpClient httpClient)


{
_httpClient = httpClient;
}

public async Task<string> GetPlacesAsync(string query)


{
var apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync($"places/geoname?name=
{query}&apikey={apiKey}");

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}

3. Use the service in your controller:

Controllers/HomeController.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class HomeController : Controller


{
private readonly IOpenTripMapService _openTripMapService;

public HomeController(IOpenTripMapService openTripMapService)


{
_openTripMapService = openTripMapService;
}

public async Task<IActionResult> Index(string query)


{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(query))
{
var places = await _openTripMapService.GetPlacesAsync(query);
ViewBag.Places = places;
}

return View();
}
}

By using these free APIs, you can implement a wide range of functionalities for your "Travel Genie" project
without incurring costs. Let me know if you need further details or help with other integrations!
