Get KaggleAPI-NET

For ease of installation, you can add the lastest release of KaggleAPI-NET into your project using Nuget

Usage

• Include the library

using KaggleAPI.Web;
using KaggleAPI.Web.Models;

• Create a new client

KaggleClient kaggle = new KaggleClient();

• Provide the client credentials for authentication

kaggle.Authenticate(
    new KaggleConfiguration { username = "YourUsername", key = "YourKey" },
    method: AuthenticationMethod.Direct
);

• Make a request to list all Kaggle competitions given below queries

List<CompetitionInquiry>? result = await kaggle.CompetitionsList(search: "searchTerm");

• Print the titles of all competitions found
