Installation

The package is available on NuGet.org:

dotnet add package Panda.NuGet.BillbeeClient

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Panda.NuGet.BillbeeClient

Quick Start

1. Configure Services

using Panda.NuGet.BillbeeClient.Extensions;

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddBillbeeApi(new BillbeeApiConfig
        {
            Username = "your-username",
            Password = "your-password", 
            ApiKey = "your-api-key",
            BaseUrl = "https://api.billbee.io"
        });
    }
}

2. Use in Your Services

public class OrderService
{
    private readonly IBillbeeClient _billbeeClient;

    public OrderService(IBillbeeClient billbeeClient)
    {
        _billbeeClient = billbeeClient;
    }

    public async Task<IEnumerable<Order>> GetRecentOrdersAsync()
    {
        var result = await _billbeeClient.Orders.GetOrdersAsync();
        return result.Data;
    }

    public async Task<Product> GetProductAsync(int productId)
    {
        var result = await _billbeeClient.Products.GetProductAsync(productId);
        return result.Data;
    }
}

Configuration

The BillbeeApiConfig supports the following properties:

• Username: Your Billbee username
• Password: Your Billbee password or API password
• ApiKey: Your Billbee API key
• BaseUrl: The Billbee API base URL (default: https://api.billbee.io)

Rate Limiting

The client includes built-in rate limiting to prevent API quota violations. The rate limiter is implemented as a singleton and will work correctly within a single application instance.
