RebrickableSharp

Introduction

RebrickableSharp is a strongly-typed, easy-to-use C# client for the Rebrickable API that gets you started with just a few lines of code. It handles authentication, error handling and parsing of JSON into typed instances. It supports all .NET platforms compatible with .NET standard 2.0.

Demo Project

Prerequisites

You need to have an account on Rebrickable. Then, go to Account > Settings > API and create a new Key or use an existing one.

Note that the CSV helper classes do not require an API Key to be used.

Install NuGet Package

Package Manager Console

Install-Package RebrickableSharp

Command Line

nuget install RebrickableSharp

Setup credentials

RebrickableClientConfiguration.Instance.ApiKey = "<Your API Key>";

IRebrickableClient

var client = RebrickableClientFactory.Build();

// Do stuff

// Client must be disposed properly
client.Dispose();

Alternatively, an externally managed HttpClient can be used:

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var client = RebrickableClientFactory.Build(httpClient);

// Do stuff

// Client *and* HttpClient must be disposed properly
client.Dispose();
httpClient.Dispose();

Usage recommendation

It's recommended to create and use one IRebrickableClient client throughout the lifetime of your application.

In applications using an IoC container you may register the IRebrickableClient as a service and inject it into consuming instances (e.g. controllers). See the below examples to register the IRebrickableClient as single instance (Singleton).

Autofac example

containerBuilder.Register(c => RebrickableClientFactory.Build())
	.As<IRebrickableClient>()
	.SingleInstance();

Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection example

services.AddSingleton(typeof(IRebrickableClient), provider =>
{
    return RebrickableClientFactory.Build();
});  

Parts

Get parts

// API
Task<PagedResponse<Part>> GetPartsAsync(int page = 1, int pageSize = 100, 
    bool includeDetails = false, string? bricklinkId = null,
    string? partNumber = null, IEnumerable<string>? partNumbers = null,
    int? categoryId = null, string? brickOwlId = null,
    string? legoId = null, string? lDrawId = null,
    string? searchTerm = null,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var response = await client.GetPartsAsync(page: 1, pageSize: 50, includeDetails: true, searchTerm: "M-Tron");
var parts = response.Results;

Find part by BrickLink ID

// API
Task<Part?> FindPartByBricklinkIdAsync(string bricklinkId,
    bool includeDetails = false,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var part = await client.FindPartByBricklinkIdAsync("3005", true);

Get part colors

// API
Task<PagedResponse<PartColor>> GetPartColorsAsync(string partNumber,
    RebrickableCredentials? credentials = null,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var pagedResult = await client.GetPartColorDetailsAsync("3003");
var partColors = pagedResult.Results; 

Get part color details

// API
Task<PartColorDetails> GetPartColorDetailsAsync(string partNumber, int colorId,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var colorId = 1; //Blue
var partColorDetails = await client.GetPartColorDetailsAsync("3005", colorId)

Colors

Get colors

// API
Task<PagedResponse<Color>> GetColorsAsync(int page = 1, int pageSize = 100,
    bool includeDetails = false,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var response = await client.GetColorsAsync(includeDetails: true,
    page: 1, pageSize: 50);
var colors = response.Results;

Get color

// API
Task<Color> GetColorAsync(int colorId, bool includeDetails = false, 
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var colorId = 0; //black
var black = await client.GetColorAsync(colorId, includeDetails: true);

Elements

Get element

// API
Task<Element> GetElementAsync(string elementId, 
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);  

// Example
var elementId = "300521"; //1x1 Brick in Red
var element = await client.GetElementAsync(elementId);

Minifigs

// API
Task<Minifig> GetMinifigByIdAsync(
    string minifigId,
    RebrickableCredentials? credentials = null,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

// Example
var minifigId = "fig-000001"; //Toy Store Employee, note that minifigId is named 'set_num' in the API docs.
var minifig = await client.GetMinifigByIdAsync(minifigId);
