Getting Started

Initialize & Make API Request

Once you have installed the package, it is extremely easy to get started with the SDK; all you need to do is import the package in your code, set your Appwrite credentials, and start making API calls. Below is a simple example:

using Appwrite;

var client = new Client()
  .SetEndpoint("http://cloud.appwrite.io/v1")  // Make sure your endpoint is accessible
  .SetProject("5ff3379a01d25")                 // Your project ID
  .SetKey("cd868db89")                         // Your secret API key
  .SetSelfSigned();                            // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert

var users = new Users(client);

var user = await users.Create(
    userId: ID.Unique(),
    email: "email@example.com",
    password: "password",
    name: "name");

Console.WriteLine(user.ToMap());

Error Handling

The Appwrite .NET SDK raises an AppwriteException object with message, code and response properties. You can handle any errors by catching AppwriteException and present the message to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.

var users = new Users(client);

try {
    var user = await users.Create(
        userId: ID.Unique(),
        email: "email@example.com",
        password: "password",
        name: "name");
} catch (AppwriteException e) {
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
