BizTalk Server 2013 R2 Integration with Cloud API Last.fm
In previous post I described a way to consume a public Rest API using the BizTalk WCF-WebHttp adapter in combination with JSON-decoder, which is a new component with the BizTalk Server 2013 R2 edition. Now I like to mix things up a bit and consume a different API that is public. That is you can use this API from Last.fm . This is an online music discovery service that gives you personalised recommendations based on the music you listen to. To use the API of this service you need to registering yourself first. Because when you call of one of the methods of the API you need to stick in an api_key as one of the parameters of your request. This is not uncommon as various cloud API’s have this kind of mechanism. Scenario I have the following scenario, where I have built a client application ( still one of those old fashioned guys that use window forms ). The client application have the following functionality: Get information of an artist. Get the top albums from the artist. Infor
