C# SDK

Installing

The SDK is distributed via NuGet, the .NET package manager.

Package Manager UI

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project's references and choose “Manage NuGet Packages”.
2. Make sure “nuget.org” is selected as the package source, on the Browse tab.
3. Search for DataSoap_SDK.
4. Select the package and press Install.

Package Manager Console

1. From the top bar: Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Package Manager Console.
2. Select the project you want to install the package into as the Default Project.
3. Run Install-Package DataSoap_SDK.

Using the SDK

Once installed, bring the SDK into scope with a using statement for the DataSoap_SDK namespace:

using DataSoap_SDK;

To make requests, use DataSoapApiV2, which takes your private API token:

using (var ds = new DataSoapApiV2("your_private_token"))
{
 
}

The client covers most of the Validation API's functionality.

Examples

using (var ds = new DataSoapApiV2("your_private_token"))
{
    ds.OnException((ex) =>
    {
        // Handle exceptions here (mainly HttpClient)
    });
 
    // Perform the lookup - uses credit depending on availability and data type
    var result = await ds.ValidateAsync("phone_number_or_email");
 
    // Get the valid status from the result
    var valid = result.Valid;
 
    // The result also contains additional detail on the data,
    // as well as each individual lookup performed
}
