What's WebmasterToolsApi?

WebmasterToolsApi provides a easy and dynamic facade over Google Webmaster Tools API.

Downloading

You can either download the source and compile it yourself, or use the latest build:

https://github.com/downloads/alexandernyquist/WebmasterToolsApi/WebmasterToolsApi.rar

Usage

Authenticating

WebmasterToolsApi authenticates via Client Login using a token. To request a new token, simply use the GoogleAuthorization class:

var token = GoogleAuthorization.GetAuthorizationToken("username@gmail.com", "password"))

Requesting a new token every time is not performant. Since all tokens are valid for 7 days (source needed), we can cache it:

var token = TokenCache.GetToken("token.cache", () => GoogleAuthorization.GetAuthorizationToken("username@gmail.com", "password"))

This will read a token from token.cache. If the file could not be found or it's not valid, we request a new token and cache that.

Features

Please note that this library is far from finished and only a few resources are implemented. However, implementing this yourself should not be of any trouble.

Sites feed

Getting a list of all sites is easy. GetSites will return the actual feed, but as a ExpandoObject.

var tools = new WebmasterTools(token);
var sites = tools.GetSites();
foreach(var site in sites.entry) {
    Console.WriteLine(site.title);
}    

Site feed

It is also possible to retrieve the feed for a specific site:

var tools = new WebmasterTools(token);
var site = tools.GetSite("http://nyqui.st/");
Console.WriteLine(site.title);

Messages feed

To get all messages for a specific account:

var tools = new WebmasterTools(token);
var messages = tools.GetMessages();
foreach(var message in messages.entry) {
    Console.WriteLine(message.subject);
}

Crawler issues feed

To get a list of all crawler issues:

var issues = tools.GetCrawlIssues("http://nyqui.st/");
foreach (var issue in issues.entry) {
    Console.WriteLine(issue.date_detected);
}

Note that dashes are converted into underscores.

Sitemaps feed

To get a list of all sitemaps submitted for a specific site:

var sitemaps = tools.GetSitemaps("http://nyqui.st/");
foreach (var sitemap in sitemaps.entry) {
    Console.WriteLine(sitemap.title);
}

Keywords feed

To get a list of all keywords:

var keywords = tools.GetKeywords("http://nyqui.st/");
foreach (var keyword in keywords.keyword) {
    Console.WriteLine(keyword);
}
