On line 16, we append the endpoint that we are going to connect to. In this example, we hit the “/addresses” endpoint. On line 17, we authenticate to Lob using Basic Authentication. Our Lob API key is placed where the username would be and we leave the password empty. Flurl sets the basic-auth headers using the WithBasicAuth method. For those using RestSharp it looks like this.
At Lob, our mission is to connect the online and offline world. We support developers in this pursuit by providing direct mail and address verification APIs. Today we are diving into C# to show how to easily implement Lob’s API in your ASP.Core application using the Flurl Http Library. Now, there is no particular reason we are using Flurl in this example. You can easily implement Lob API in whatever HTTP client you choose -- RestSharp, ServiceStack, etc. We happened to choose Flurl because it’s the latest hotness.
