Getting Started

Initialize & Make API Request

Once you add the dependencies, its 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;

static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
  var client = Client();

  client
    .setEndpoint('http://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1') // Make sure your endpoint is accessible
    .setProject('5ff3379a01d25') // Your project ID
    .setKey('cd868c7af8bdc893b4...93b7535db89')
    .setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
  ;

  var users = Users(client);

  try {
    var request = await users.create('email@example.com', 'password', 'name');
    var response = await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    Console.WriteLine(response);
  } catch (AppwriteException e) {
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
  }
}

Error Handling

The Appwrite .NET SDK raises 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 = Users(client);

try {
  var request = await users.create('email@example.com', 'password', 'name');
  var response = await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  Console.WriteLine(response);
} catch (AppwriteException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
