You may have already downloaded our nuget package and want some additional assistance in getting started using HSS_API_Store_SDK. Below you will find a unit test code snippet that demonstrates calls to the methods provided in our nuget package. Be sure to scroll through the entire post there is more after the following code.

You will need to setup an app.config file in your project if you want to build this unit test code to define the AppSettings used in the code. Below is a sample app.config with placeholders in curly braces for your email and API keys. You can change these to the values you received when you requested API keys from our API Store.

Thank you for downloading our SDK and for reading our post!

We have much experience in software development with a range of application project experience that can translate into productive freelance development. Early in our experiences we worked on embedded systems development where we programmed in a variety of microprocessor assembly languages, Ada, C, C++. We have experience with avionic software, medical device and manufacturing process controls. Embedded systems work was among some of our favorites; however, we also have worked in IT development where we have experience with relational database management systems such as Ingres, Oracle, RBase, and SQL Server. We have developed solutions for Unix and Windows platforms and have experience in working with Flexera's Install Shield software for creating install packages for Windows Desktop Applications. We have developed a variety of desktop applications including winform and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) as well as some hybrids of winform with WPF controls.

Our primary interest now is in helping other small businesses in whatever ways they may need. We are open for any ideas that you may have but don't have the in house skills to develop for your business.

Aside from software development work experience we have worked in retail and food service industries in our younger days. This gave us experience in point of sale as well as inventory control and food preparation. These skills may also aid us in developing a solution that will perfectly address an issue you may have in your day to day business.

Thanks for your time and attention to reading our posts on this blog site and may you be blessed today and always!

Today we added a new link to our Complete Person Records page that will allow you to download the records that are displayed on the page in form of a .csv file that you can use in your tests. This .csv file is updated hourly at 38 minutes after the top of the hour so that any records you add to the table by generating new records will be available shortly after the update (00:38, 01:38, 02:38 ... 23:38).

Thanks for reading this post and for downloading data from our site to use in your tests!
