Below is an example of how to create a custom console application or form based control panel using our .NET wrapper also available in Nuget repository.
Console Application
To install MaxCDN.dll:
- Open nuget package manager to Add Reference to MaxCDN.dll.
- Search the repository for maxcdn and select Install.

Form Application
Reporting
Due to a need for visualization, reporting presentations should be handled by the Windows Form application in order to draw charts you require.
Below is an example of how to use built-in control called Chart.
Methods used: GET.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
Visualization
Controls used: Chart.
var requestTimeout = 30;
var alias = Properties.Settings.Default._alias;
var consumer_key = Properties.Settings.Default._consumer_key;
var consumer_secret = Properties.Settings.Default._consumer_secret;
var api = new MaxCDN.Api(alias, consumer_key, consumer_secret, requestTimeout);
var res = api.Get(("/reports/statsbyzone.json/monthly"));
string result = Convert.ToString(JObject.Parse(res));
dynamic jsondes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
string requests = jsondes.data.summary.hit;
string hits = jsondes.data.summary.cache_hit;
string misses = jsondes.data.summary.noncache_hit;
string[] seriesArray = { "Requests", "Hits", "Misses" };
int[] pointsArray = {Convert.ToInt32(requests), Convert.ToInt32(hits), Convert.ToInt32(misses) };
this.chart2.Palette = ChartColorPalette.SeaGreen;
this.chart2.Titles.Add("Summary");
for (int i = 0; i < seriesArray.Length; i++)
{
Series series = this.chart2.Series.Add(seriesArray[i]);
series.Points.Add(pointsArray[i]);
}
Raw Logs
Methods used: GET.
Controls used: ListView, MonthCalendar.
listView1.Items.Clear();
string append = "&status=200";
var requestTimeout = 30;
var alias = Properties.Settings.Default._alias;
var consumer_key = Properties.Settings.Default._consumer_key;
var consumer_secret = Properties.Settings.Default._consumer_secret;
var api = new MaxCDN.Api(alias, consumer_key, consumer_secret, requestTimeout);
var start = monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.Date.Year + "-" + monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.Date.Month + "-" + monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.Date.Day;
var end = monthCalendar2.SelectionEnd.Year + "-" + monthCalendar2.SelectionStart.Date.Month + "-" + monthCalendar2.SelectionStart.Date.Day;
var res = api.Get("/v3/reporting/logs.json?limit=1000&start=" + start + "&end=" + end + append);
string result = Convert.ToString(JObject.Parse(res));
dynamic jsondes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
var list = jsondes.records;
JArray items = (JArray)jsondes["records"];
int count = items.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
string time = list[i].time;
string location = list[i].client_city + ", " + list[i].client_country;
string host = list[i].hostname;
string uri = list[i].uri;
string referer = list[i].referer;
string status = list[i].status;
string cachestatus = list[i].cache_status;
ListViewItem line = new ListViewItem(new[] { time, location, host, uri, referer, status, cachestatus });
this.listView1.Items.Add(line);
}
