Warning
We are actively working on the .NET SDK for AssemblyAI. Watch the C# SDK repo, specifically the releases, so you get notified when we have our first release.
The official AssemblyAI C# library, supporting .NET Standard 3.0+, .NET Core 3.0+, and .NET Framework 4.6.1+.
API reference documentation is available here.
Using the .NET Core command-line interface (CLI) tools:
dotnet add package AssemblyAI.Client
Using the NuGet Command Line Interface (CLI):
nuget install AssemblyAI.Client
Using the Package Manager Console:
Install-Package AssemblyAI.Client
Instantiate the SDK using the AssemblyAI
class. Note that all
of the SDK methods are awaitable!
using AssemblyaAI;
AssemblyAI aai = new AssemblyAI("YOUR_API_KEY")
TranscriptResponse transcript =
await aai.Transcript.get("transcript_id");
System.Console.WriteLine("Received transcript!", transcript);
You can override the HttpClient by passing in ClientOptions
.
aai = new AssemblyAI("YOUR_API_KEY", new ClientOptions{
HttpClient = ... // Override the Http Client
BaseURL = ... // Override the Base URL
})
When the API returns a non-zero status code, (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of AssemblyAIException will be thrown:
try {
aai.transcript.create(...);
} catch (AssemblyAIException e) {
System.Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
System.Console.WriteLine(e.StatusCode)
}
409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors will all be retried twice with exponential backoff. You can override this behavior globally or per-request.
var aai = new AssemblyAI("...", new ClientOptions{
MaxRetries = 1 // Only retry once
});
aai.transcript.create(new TranscriptCreateParams{ ... }, new RequestOptions {
MaxRetries = 0 // Disable retries
});
The SDK defaults to a 60s timeout. You can override this behaviour globally or per-request.
var aai = new AssemblyAI("...", new ClientOptions{
TimeoutInSeconds = 20 // Lower timeout
});
aai.transcript.create(new TranscriptCreateParams{ ... }, new RequestOptions {
TimeoutInSeconds = 90 // Raise timeout
});
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
