ResourceGuru.NET

Constructing API client instance

Before you can make any API calls you must initialize the ResourceGuruClient class with your client ID and secret and authenticate with the ResourceGuru API.

using ResourceGuru;
var client = new ResourceGuruClient(clientId, clientSecret);

We will use this initialized client for all further operations.

Authentication

The client supports two ways of authentication:

Standard OAuth2 flow

ResourceGuru offer OAuth2 as the standard way to authenticate with our API as this offers a simple flow for users to allow app access without you having to store their credentials.

// Redirect the user to the authorize url, You can get the authorize url by calling 'GetAuthorizeUrl' method in ResourceGuruClient class.
string authUrl = client.GetAuthorizeUrl(redirectUri);

// In the callback you get the authorization_code as a query string parameter
// which you use to get the access token
client.AuthenticateWithAuthorizationCode(Request["code"], redirectUri);

Using user's login credentials

This method is only recommended for private apps, such as data imports and exports or internal business reporting.

client.AuthenticateWithPassword(username, password);

Example usage

After authentication you can use all of the wrapper functions to make API requests. The functions are organized into services. You can access this service classes form the ResourceGuruClient instance.

//Get all bookings
 List<Booking> bookings = client.BookingService.GetBookings(subdomain: "my-org");

//Get an individual client
ClientDetail clientDetails = client.ClientService.GetClient(subdomain: "my-org", clientId: 123);
string clientName = clientDetails.Name; // Name of the client;

Error Handling

All unsuccessful responses returned by the API (everything that has a 4xx or 5xx HTTP status code) will throw exceptions. You can catch exception of type ResourceGuru.Exceptions.ResourceGuruException. The ResponseBody property contains the JSON response body which contains the error details.

try
{
    List<Booking> bookings = client.BookingService.GetBookingsForClient(subdomain: "my-org", clientId: 123);
}
catch (ResourceGuruException exception)
{
    Response.Write(exception.ResponseBody); // JSON Response body.
}
