Developer-friendly & type-safe C# SDK specifically catered to leverage Gr4vy API.
Gr4vy C# SDK
The official Gr4vy SDK for C# provides a convenient way to interact with the Gr4vy API from your server-side application. This SDK allows you to seamlessly integrate Gr4vy's powerful payment orchestration capabilities, including:
- Creating Transactions: Initiate and process payments with various payment methods and services.
- Managing Buyers: Store and manage buyer information securely.
- Storing Payment Methods: Securely store and tokenize payment methods for future use.
- Handling Webhooks: Easily process and respond to webhook events from Gr4vy.
- And much more: Access the full suite of Gr4vy API payment features.
This SDK is designed to simplify development, reduce boilerplate code, and help you get up and running with Gr4vy quickly and efficiently. It handles authentication, request signing, and provides easy-to-use methods for most API endpoints.
To add the NuGet package to a .NET project:
dotnet add package Gr4vy
To add a reference to a local instance of the SDK in a .NET project:
dotnet add reference src/Gr4vy/Gr4vy.csproj
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;
// Loaded the key from a file, env variable,
// or anywhere else
var privateKey = "...";
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
id: "example",
server: SDKConfig.Server.Sandbox,
bearerAuthSource: Auth.WithToken(privateKey),
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
var res = await sdk.Transactions.ListAsync();
// handle response
Important
Please use bearerAuthSource: Auth.WithToken()
where the documentation mentions bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
.
Alternatively, you can create a token for use with the SDK or with your own client library.
using Gr4vy;
var token = Auth.GetToken(privateKey),
Note: This will only create a token once. Use
Auth.WithToken
to dynamically generate a token for every request.
Alternatively, you can create a token for use with Embed as follows.
using Gr4vy;
// Loaded the key from a file, env variable,
// or anywhere else
var privateKey = "...";
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
id: "example",
server: SDKConfig.Server.Sandbox,
bearerAuthSource: Auth.WithToken(privateKey),
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
var checkoutSession = await sdk.CheckoutSessions.CreateAsync()
auth.get_embed_token(
privatekey,
embedParams=new Dictionary<string, object>
{
["amount"]: 1299,
["currency"]: 'USD',
["buyer_external_identifier"]: 'user-1234',
},
checkoutSessionId=checkoutSession.ID
)
Note: This will only create a token once. Use
Auth.WithToken()
to dynamically generate a token for every request.
Depending on the key used, you might need to explicitly define a merchant account ID to use. In our API,
this uses the X-GR4VY-MERCHANT-ACCOUNT-ID
header. When using the SDK, you can set the merchantAccountId
when initializing the SDK.
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
id: "example",
server: SDKConfig.Server.Sandbox,
bearerAuthSource: Auth.WithToken(privateKey),
merchantAccountId: "my-merchant-id"
);
The SDK makes it easy to verify that incoming webhooks were actually sent by Gr4vy. Once you have configured the webhook subscription with its corresponding secret, that can be verified the following way:
using Gr4vy;
// Webhook payload and headers
string payload = "your-webhook-payload";
string secret = "your-webhook-secret";
string signatureHeader = "signatures-from-header";
string timestampHeader = "timestamp-from-header";
int timestampTolerance = 300; // optional, in seconds (default: 0)
try {
Webhooks.Verify(Payload, Secret, signatureHeader, timestampHeader, timestampTolerance);
}
catch(ArgumentException ex) {
// handle the exception
}
payload
: The raw payload string received in the webhook request.secret
: The secret used to sign the webhook. This is provided in your Gr4vy dashboard.signatureHeader
: TheX-Gr4vy-Signature
header from the webhook request.timestampHeader
: TheX-Gr4vy-Timestamp
header from the webhook request.timestampTolerance
: (Optional) The maximum allowed difference (in seconds) between the current time and the timestamp in the webhook. Defaults to0
(no tolerance).

A parameter is configured globally. This parameter may be set on the SDK client instance itself during initialization. When configured as an option during SDK initialization, This global value will be used as the default on the operations that use it. When such operations are called, there is a place in each to override the global value, if needed.
For example, you can set merchant_account_id
to "default"
at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like Get
. But if you want to do so you may, which will locally override the global setting. See the example code below for a demonstration.
The following global parameter is available.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
merchantAccountId | string | The ID of the merchant account to use for this request. |
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
var res = await sdk.MerchantAccounts.GetAsync(merchantAccountId: "merchant-12345");
// handle response
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you make your SDK calls as usual, but the
returned response object will have a Next
method that can be called to pull down the next group of results. If the
return value of Next
is null
, then there are no more pages to be fetched.
Here's an example of one such pagination call:
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using Gr4vy.Models.Requests;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
ListBuyersRequest req = new ListBuyersRequest() {
Cursor = "ZXhhbXBsZTE",
Search = "John",
ExternalIdentifier = "buyer-12345",
};
ListBuyersResponse? res = await sdk.Buyers.ListAsync(req);
while(res != null)
{
// handle items
res = await res.Next!();
}
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply pass a RetryConfig
to the call:
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using Gr4vy.Models.Requests;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
ListBuyersRequest req = new ListBuyersRequest() {
Cursor = "ZXhhbXBsZTE",
Search = "John",
ExternalIdentifier = "buyer-12345",
};
ListBuyersResponse? res = await sdk.Buyers.ListAsync(
retryConfig: new RetryConfig(
strategy: RetryConfig.RetryStrategy.BACKOFF,
backoff: new BackoffStrategy(
initialIntervalMs: 1L,
maxIntervalMs: 50L,
maxElapsedTimeMs: 100L,
exponent: 1.1
),
retryConnectionErrors: false
),
request: req
);
while(res != null)
{
// handle items
res = await res.Next!();
}
If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the RetryConfig
optional parameter when intitializing the SDK:
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using Gr4vy.Models.Requests;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
retryConfig: new RetryConfig(
strategy: RetryConfig.RetryStrategy.BACKOFF,
backoff: new BackoffStrategy(
initialIntervalMs: 1L,
maxIntervalMs: 50L,
maxElapsedTimeMs: 100L,
exponent: 1.1
),
retryConnectionErrors: false
),
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
ListBuyersRequest req = new ListBuyersRequest() {
Cursor = "ZXhhbXBsZTE",
Search = "John",
ExternalIdentifier = "buyer-12345",
};
ListBuyersResponse? res = await sdk.Buyers.ListAsync(req);
while(res != null)
{
// handle items
res = await res.Next!();
}
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 Gr4vy.Models.Errors.APIException
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 CreateAsync
method throws the following exceptions:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error400 | 400 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error401 | 401 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error403 | 403 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error404 | 404 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error405 | 405 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error409 | 409 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.HTTPValidationError | 422 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error425 | 425 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error429 | 429 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error500 | 500 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error502 | 502 | application/json |
Gr4vy.Models.Errors.Error504 | 504 | application/json |

You can override the default server globally by passing a server name to the server: string
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 names associated with the available servers:
Name | Server | Variables | Description |
---|---|---|---|
production |
https://api.{id}.gr4vy.app |
id |
|
sandbox |
https://api.sandbox.{id}.gr4vy.app |
id |
If the selected server has variables, you may override its default values through the additional parameters made available in the SDK constructor:
Variable | Parameter | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id |
id: string |
"example" |
The subdomain for your Gr4vy instance. |
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
server: "sandbox",
id: "<id>",
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
var res = await sdk.AccountUpdater.Jobs.CreateAsync(
accountUpdaterJobCreate: new AccountUpdaterJobCreate() {
PaymentMethodIds = new List<string>() {
"ef9496d8-53a5-4aad-8ca2-00eb68334389",
"f29e886e-93cc-4714-b4a3-12b7a718e595",
},
},
timeoutInSeconds: 1D,
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
// handle response
The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverUrl: string
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
using Gr4vy;
using Gr4vy.Models.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;
var sdk = new Gr4vySDK(
serverUrl: "https://api.example.gr4vy.app",
bearerAuth: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
var res = await sdk.AccountUpdater.Jobs.CreateAsync(
accountUpdaterJobCreate: new AccountUpdaterJobCreate() {
PaymentMethodIds = new List<string>() {
"ef9496d8-53a5-4aad-8ca2-00eb68334389",
"f29e886e-93cc-4714-b4a3-12b7a718e595",
},
},
timeoutInSeconds: 1D,
merchantAccountId: "default"
);
// handle response
To run the tests, install .NET and run the following.
dotnet test src/Gr4vy.Tests
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. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
