Callcounter .NET integration package

This package can be used to gather API request & response data from ASP.NET Core based applications and send it to Callcounter.

Callcounter is an API analytics platform that collect information about requests (calls) to your API using so-called integrations. Integrations come in the form of a Ruby gem, a Nuget package, a Pip module, etcetera. The integrations can send the data to Callcounter using an API, which is described at: https://callcounter.eu/pages/api

After collecting data, the web interface can then be used to view all kinds of metrics, giving you insight in the (mis)usage of your API.

Install

Run dotnet add package Callcounter to add the latest available version to your project.

Configuration

Configure callcounter with the following key, this can be placed in your appsettings.json.

{
  "CallcounterProjectToken": "/* fill with your project token */"
}

Now extend your Startup.cs with a number of calls:

...

using Callcounter.Net;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
	...

	services.AddCallcounter();
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
	...

	app.UseCallcounter();
}

After deploying you should start seeing data in Callcounter. Note that this might take some time because this package only sends data every few requests or every few minutes.
