Simple library for interfacing with the Strawpoll (original). You can create Strawpolls as well as view Strawpoll statistics.

StrawpollNET - .NET Strawpoll Library for Creating and Accessing Strawpolls

Overview

This is a simple library designed to allow for the creation and accessing of Strawpolls in a really simple fashion. Synchronous and asynchrnous calls are available and all poll details (including vote counts) are returned when creating a new poll or fetching an existing poll.

Sample Implementations

Create Strawpoll

// Establish the poll settins
string pollTitle = "Which of these are great movies? You can vote on multiple!";
List<string> allOptions = new List<string>() { "Shrek", "Ants", "A Bug's Life", "Lion King" };
bool multipleChoice = true;
StrawPollNET.Enums.DupCheck dupCheck = StrawPollNET.Enums.DupCheck.Normal;
bool requireCaptcha = true;

// Create the poll
StrawPollNET.Models.CreatedPoll newPoll = StrawPollNET.API.Create.CreatePoll(pollTitle, allOptions, multipleChoice, dupCheck, requireCaptcha);

// Show poll link
Console.WriteLine($"Go vote at my new poll, available here: {newPoll.PollUrl}");

Output:

Go vote at my new poll, available here: https://strawpoll.me/12112663

Fetch a Strawpoll

// Get the very first Strawpoll ever made
int pollId = 1;
StrawPollNET.Models.FetchedPoll fetchedPoll = StrawPollNET.API.Get.GetPoll(pollId);

// Show results
Console.WriteLine("The current results are:");
foreach(KeyValuePair<string, int> result in fetchedPoll.Results)
    Console.WriteLine($"-{result.Key}: {result.Value} votes");

Output:

The current results are:
-Shrek: 1 votes
-Ants: 0 votes
-A Bug's Life: 0 votes
-Lion King: 0 votes
