A .NET Core port from the original Onfido.NET
You can obtain Onfido.Core from nuget by using the Package Browser, or the Package Manager Console:
PM> Install-Package Onfido.Core
To setup your API token you'll need to add a call to Onfido.Settings.SetApiToken() somewhere in your application.
Onfido.Settings.SetApiToken("whatever_your_token_is");
Optionally, you may want to set the version of the API that you're calling; this defaults to the latest version of the API.
Onfido.Settings.SetApiVersion("v2");
When calling each of the services you can either create an instance of Onfido.Api - which will allow you to access all the Onfido endpoints from a single object - or you can create separately as required. For each of the examples below, where we have something like
var Applicant = new Onfido.Resources.Applicants();
return Applicant.Create(applicant)
the following is equally valid
var api = new Onfido.Api();
return api.Applicants.Create(applicant);
The Applicants endpoint supports three operations - Create(), Find(), and All():
var applicants = new Onfido.Resources.Applicants();
var applicant = new Applicant {
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Smith"
// ...
};
var newApplicant = applicants.Create(applicant);
var applicants = new Onfido.Resources.Applicants();
var existingApplicant = applicants.Find(applicantId);
var applicants = new Onfido.Resources.Applicants();
var allApplicants = applicants.All();
The All() operation also permits pagination
var applicants = new Onfido.Resources.Applicants();
var top10Applicants = applicants.All(1, 10):
var next10Applicants = applicants.All(2, 10):
The Documents endpoint supports a single operation - Create():
var documents = new Onfido.Resources.Documents();
var passport = new FileStream(@"./passport.png", FileMode.Open);
var document = api.Documents.Create(applicantId, passport, "passport.png", Entities.DocumentType.Passport);
Since you can optionally supply a side, Create() also allows you to specify which side of a document you're uploading
var documents = new Onfido.Resources.Documents();
var passport = new FileStream(@"./passport.png", FileMode.Open);
var document = api.Documents.Create(applicantId, passport, "passport.png", Entities.DocumentType.Passport, Entities.DocumentSide.Front);
The Entities.DocumentType and Entities.DocumentSide enums support the following:
public enum DocumentType {
Passport,
NationalIdentityCard,
WorkPermit,
DrivingLicense,
NationalInsurance,
BirthCertificate,
BankStatement,
Unknown
}
public enum DocumentSide
{
Front,
Back
}
The Checks endpoint supports three operations - Create(), Find() and All():
var checks = new Onfido.Resources.Checks();
var check = new Check
{
Type = CheckType.Standard,
Reports = new List<Report>
{
new Report { Name = "identity" },
new Report { Name = "document" }
}
};
var new_check = checks.Create(applicant_id, check);
var checks = new Onfido.Resources.Checks();
var existingCheck = checks.Find(applicantId, checkId);
var checks = new Onfido.Resources.Checks();
var applicantChecks = checks.All(applicantId);
The All() operation also permits pagination
var checks = new Onfido.Resources.Checks();
var top10Checks = checks.All(1, 10):
var next10Checks = checks.All(2, 10):
The Reports endpoint supports two operations - Find() and All():
var reports = new Onfido.Resources.Reports();
var existingReport = reports.Find(checkId, reportId);
var reports = new Onfido.Resources.Reports();
var allReports = reports.All(checkId);
