Bynder / bynder-c-sharp-sdk

SDK in C# for integration with Bynder

Bynder C# SDK

The main goal of this SDK is to speed up the integration of Bynder customers who use C# making it easier to connect to the Bynder API (http://docs.bynder.apiary.io) and executing requests on it.

Nuget Package

You can download and use Bynder SDK from Nuget. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Bynder.Sdk/

Current status

At the moment this SDK provides a library with the following methods:

OAuth operations

string GetAuthorisationUrl(string state);
Task GetAccessTokenAsync();
Task GetAccessTokenAsync(string code);

Asset management operations

Task<IList<Brand>> GetBrandsAsync();
Task<Uri> GetDownloadFileUrlAsync(DownloadMediaQuery query);
Task<IDictionary<string, Metaproperty>> GetMetapropertiesAsync();
Task<Metaproperty> GetMetapropertyAsync(MetapropertiesQuery query);
Task<List<String>> GetMetapropertyDependenciesAsync(MetapropertiesQuery query);
Task<Media> GetMediaInfoAsync(MediaInformationQuery query);
Task<IList<Media>> GetMediaListAsync(MediaQuery query);
Task<SaveMediaResponse> UploadFileAsync(UploadQuery query);
Task<Status> ModifyMediaAsync(ModifyMediaQuery query);
Task<List<Tag>> GetTagsAsync(TagsQuery query);
Task<Status> AddTagToMediaAsync(AddTagToMediaQuery query);

Collection management operations

Task<IList<Collection>> GetCollectionsAsync(GetCollectionsQuery query);
Task<Collection> GetCollectionAsync(string id);
Task<Status> CreateCollectionAsync(CreateCollectionQuery query);
Task<Status> DeleteCollectionAsync(string id);
Task<IList<string>> GetMediaAsync(GetMediaQuery query);
Task<Status> AddMediaAsync(AddMediaQuery query);
Task<Status> RemoveMediaAsync(RemoveMediaQuery query);
Task<Status> ShareCollectionAsync(ShareQuery query);

Sample Files Functionality Testing

Classes within Sample contain code to execute corresponding functionalities. The purpose is to demonstrate how methods are called and provide a convenient method to execute functions.

Executing the code in each file will prompt you in the terminal to enter in various IDs (media, collection, brand, tag, etc) to pass into each of the functions being run.

Within Bynder/Sample create an Config.json file or modify with the correct values. This file will be referenced from sample files. Depending on the sample file, you will need to have the correct scopes granted.

Example Config.json file content:

{
  "base_url": "https://example.bynder.com",
  "client_id": "your oauth app client id",
  "client_secret": "your oauth app client secret",
  "redirect_uri": "your oauth app redirect uri",
  "scopes": "offline asset:read asset:write collection:read collection:write asset.usage:read asset.usage:write meta.assetbank:read meta.assetbank:write meta.workflow:read"
}

Within each sample file, OAuth credentials are read in from Config.json. This will prompt the browser to open to retrieve an access code and then redirected to the redirect URI. Access code is then provided to terminal prompt to retrieve an access token for API calls afterward.

Setting up .NET (dotnet) and building the project

Make sure you have .NET 5.0 set up and installed. If you are developing on a Mac OS, the fastest method is to download the C# Dev Kit in Visual Studio Code and download .NET 5.0 from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/5.0.

From Bynder/Sample directory, the project can be built using command from Bynder.Sample.csproj:

dotnet build
