The Ding C# library provides convenient access to the Ding API from applications written in C#.
Ding: The OTP API allows you to send authentication codes to your users using their phone numbers.
- SDK Installation
- SDK Example Usage
- Available Resources and Operations
- Error Handling
- Server Selection
- Authentication
To add the NuGet package to a .NET project:
dotnet add package DingSDK
To add a reference to a local instance of the SDK in a .NET project:
dotnet add reference DingSDK/DingSDK.csproj
Send an OTP code to a user's phone number.

You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIndex: number
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:
# | Server | Variables |
---|---|---|
0 | https://api.ding.live/v1 |
None |
The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverUrl: str
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|---|---|
APIKey |
apiKey | API key |
You can set the security parameters through the security
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
using DingSDK;
using DingSDK.Models.Components;
var sdk = new Ding(security: new Security() {
APIKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
});
CreateCheckRequest req = new CreateCheckRequest() {
AuthenticationUuid = "eebe792b-2fcc-44a0-87f1-650e79259e02",
CheckCode = "123456",
CustomerUuid = "64f66a7c-4b2c-4131-a8ff-d5b954cca05f",
};
var res = await sdk.Otp.CheckAsync(req);
// handle response
Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or throw an exception.
By default, an API error will raise a DingSDK.Models.Errors.SDKException
exception, which has the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Message |
string | The error message |
StatusCode |
int | The HTTP status code |
RawResponse |
HttpResponseMessage | The raw HTTP response |
Body |
string | The response content |
When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exceptions. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the CheckAsync
method throws the following exceptions:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
DingSDK.Models.Errors.ErrorResponse | 400 | application/json |
DingSDK.Models.Errors.SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | */* |

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
