IRacingApiService

The IRacingApiService is a service for interfacing with the iRacing API. It uses authentication and logging mechanisms to provide a reliable and secure way to interact with iRacing data.

Enabling API Usage

iRacing adopted 2FA in 2024 and requires you to now opt-in to legacy authentication.

1. Goto https://oauth.iracing.com/accountmanagement/security/
2. At the bottom of the options, enable Legacy Authentication

Usage

To use the IRacingApiService, follow these steps:

1. Install necessary packages:

   dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Options
   dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
   

2. Configure settings:

   Create a configuration section in your appsettings.json file:

   {
       "IRacingDataSettings": {
           "BaseUrl": "https://members-ng.iracing.com/",
           "Username": "your_username",
           "Password": "your_password"
       }
   }
   

3. Register services:

   In your Startup.cs or Program.cs file, register the necessary services:

   public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
   {
       services.Configure<IRacingDataSettings>(Configuration.GetSection("IRacingDataSettings"));
       services.AddSingleton<IRacingApiService>();
       services.AddLogging();
   }
   

4. Use the service:

   Inject and use the IRacingApiService in your application:

   public class RacingController : ControllerBase
   {
       private readonly IRacingApiService _racingApiService;
   
       public RacingController(IRacingApiService racingApiService)
       {
           _racingApiService = racingApiService;
       }
   
       // Your actions using IRacingApiService
   }
   

Test Project

There is a test project called TestWrapper that shows how to set this up in a console app.

Notes

• Ensure you have the correct iRacing API credentials.
• Handle exceptions and errors appropriately in your application.
