If you want an API for something not covered by the current API, please "open an issue":https://dev.adiirc.com/projects/adiirc/issues/new.

You can find the current AdiIRCAPI.dll in your [[Config_Files|AdiIRC config folder]] or "here":https://www.adiirc.com/AdiIRCAPI.dll, this is the glue between AdiIRC and the plugin.

Plugins can load and use any DLL's including referencing all .NET frameworks DLL's and do P/Invoke, just like a regular .NET program.

If you get a "System.NotSupportedEception: An attempt was made to load an essembly from a network location" error, try unblock the dll file as shown here "here":https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/drew/2009/12/23/xunit-and-td-net-fixing-the-attempt-was-made-to-load-an-assembly-from-a-network-location-problem/
