Installation

Prerequisites

  • .NET version 4.5.2

Install Package

To use CSharp.HTTP.Client in your C# project, you can either download the SendGrid C# .NET libraries directly from our Github repository or, if you have the NuGet package manager installed, you can grab them automatically.

PM> Install-Package SendGrid.CSharp.Http.Client

Once you have the library properly referenced in your project, you can include calls to them in your code. For a sample implementation, check the Example folder.

Add the following namespace to use the library:

using SendGrid.CSharp.HTTP.Client;

Quick Start

Here is a quick example:

GET /your/api/{param}/call

using SendGrid.CSharp.HTTP.Client;
globalRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer XXXXXXX");
dynamic client = new Client(host: baseUrl, requestHeaders: globalRequestHeaders);
client.your.api._(param).call.get()
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
Console.WriteLine(response.Body.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
Console.WriteLine(response.Headers.ToString());

POST /your/api/{param}/call with headers, query parameters and a request body with versioning.

using SendGrid.CSharp.HTTP.Client;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
globalRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer XXXXXXX");
dynamic client = new Client(host: baseUrl, requestHeaders: globalRequestHeaders);
string queryParams = @"{'Hello': 0, 'World': 1}";
requestHeaders.Add("X-Test", "test");
string requestBody = @"{'some': 1, 'awesome': 2, 'data': 3}";
Object json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Object>(requestBody);
var response = client.your.api._(param).call.post(requestBody: json.ToString(),
                                                  queryParams: queryParams,
                                                  requestHeaders: requestHeaders)
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
Console.WriteLine(response.Body.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
Console.WriteLine(response.Headers.ToString());
