Logging

The library provides a way to inject your own, custom API information logger. Logged messages are replicated one-to-one with all Kaggle API CLI messages. By default, no logging is performed.

var config = new KaggleConfiguration { username = "YourUsername", key = "YourKey" };

var api = new KaggleClient(new YourLogger());
api.Authenticate(config, method: AuthenticationMethod.Direct);

The IKaggleInformationLogger interface can be found here.

ConsoleLogger

We can create a simple console-based logger:

using KaggleAPI.Web.Interfaces;

public class ConsoleLogger : IKaggleInformationLogger
{
    public void OnLog(string message)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(message);
    }
}

And use it as is:

var config = new KaggleConfiguration { username = "YourUsername", key = "YourKey" };

var api = new KaggleClient(new ConsoleLogger());
api.Authenticate(config, method: AuthenticationMethod.Direct);

This logger produces a simple console output similar to the Kaggle API CLI:

Downloaded metadata to D:/Kaggle/dataset-metadata.json

successfully updated dataset metadata
