Set a Canonical URL for an HTML Document in .NET Core

When you have web pages that have variations of the same content, setting a canonical URL can be incredibly useful for instructing search engines on which pages are duplicates of each other. This is particularly true when you have a retail site that sells products that vary in size, color, etc. By utilizing the following API in .NET Core, you will be able to instantly set a canonical URL for an HTML document and avoid confusing and annoying the search engines with duplicate content.

To begin, we will install the package by running this command:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 2.2.1

With the installation out of the way, we are ready to configure the API key and call the function:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
    public class EditHtmlHtmlSetRelCanonicalExample
    {
        public void main()
        {
            // Configure API key authorization: Apikey
            Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
var apiInstance = new EditHtmlApi();
            var canonicalUrl = canonicalUrl_example;  // string | The HTML canonical URL to set.
            var inputFile = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\\temp\\inputfile", System.IO.FileMode.Open); // System.IO.Stream | Optional: Input file to perform the operation on. (optional) 
            var inputFileUrl = inputFileUrl_example;  // string | Optional: URL of a file to operate on as input. (optional)
try
            {
                // Sets the rel canonical URL for the HTML document
                byte[] result = apiInstance.EditHtmlHtmlSetRelCanonical(canonicalUrl, inputFile, inputFileUrl);
                Debug.WriteLine(result);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditHtmlApi.EditHtmlHtmlSetRelCanonical: " + e.Message );
            }
        }
    }
}

At the end of this quick operation, your canonical URL will be securely set — easy!
