This is the official OAuth 2.0 C# client SDK for the Playlyfe API.
It supports the client_credentials and authorization code OAuth 2.0 flows.
For a complete API Reference checkout Playlyfe Developers for more information.
Note: Breaking Changes this is the new version of the sdk which uses the Playlyfe api v2 by default if you still want to use the v1 api you can do that so by passing a version key in the options when creating a client with 'v1' as the value
The Playlyfe class allows you to make rest api calls like GET, POST, .. etc. To get started initialize your client using client credentials flow and then start making requests For v2 api
var playlyfe = new Playlyfe(
client_id: "Your client id",
client_secret: "Your client secret",
type: "code",
store: null,
load: null,
version: "v2",
tokenEndPoint: "https://playlyfe.com/auth/token",
apiEndPoint: "https://api.playlyfe.com"
);
// This will take your client id and secret and use it to fetch the
// access token to make further requests.
// To get infomation of a player
dynamic player = playlyfe.get(
route: "/runtime/player",
query: new Dictionary<string, string> () { {"player_id", "student1" }}
);
Console.WriteLine(player["id"]);
Console.WriteLine(player["alias"]);
// To get all available processes
// Note if the response is an array then you need to pass list as true
// and the result will be a List of dynamics
List<dynamic> processes = playlyfe.get(
route: "/runtime/processes",
query: new Dictionary<string, string> () {{"player_id", "student1"}},
list: true
)
Console.WriteLine(processes["total"]);
// To start a process
dynamic process = playlyfe.post(
route: "/runtime/processes",
query: new Dictionary<string, string> () { {"player_id", "student1"} },
body: new { name = "My First Process", definition = "module1" }
);
//To play a process
playlyfe.post(
route: "/runtime/processes/"+process_id+"/play",
query: new Dictionary<string, string> () { {"player_id", "johny"} },
body: new { trigger = trigger_name }
);
// A PLaylyfeException is thrown when an error from the playlyfe platform is returned on a request
try {
playlyfe.get(
route: "/unkown",
query: new Dictionary<string, string>(){ {"player_id", "student1"}}
);
}
catch(PlaylyfeException err) {
Console.WriteLine (err.Name); // route_not_found
Console.WriteLine (err.Message); // This route does not exist
}.NET >= 4.0 or Mono >= 3.2.8
You can direcly download the playlyfe.dll file and reference it in your project
or if you are using nuget
nuget install playlyfeIf you haven't created a client for your game yet just head over to Playlyfe and login into your account, and go to the game settings and click on client.
1. Client Credentials Flow Nancy Framework
In the client page select Yes for both the first and second questions
A typical nancy app using client credentials code flow with a single route would look something like this
public class Client : NancyModule
{
public static Playlyfe plClient = null;
public Client ()
{
if (plClient == null)
plClient = new Playlyfe (
client_id: "Zjc0MWU0N2MtODkzNS00ZWNmLWEwNmYtY2M1MGMxNGQ1YmQ4",
client_secret: "YzllYTE5NDQtNDMwMC00YTdkLWFiM2MtNTg0Y2ZkOThjYTZkMGIyNWVlNDAtNGJiMC0xMWU0LWI2NGEtYjlmMmFkYTdjOTI3",
type: "client",
store: null,
load: null,
version: "v1"
);
Get["/client"] = parameters => {
dynamic players = plClient.get(route: "/game/players", query: null);
return listAllPlayers(players);
};
}
public static String listAllPlayers(dynamic players)
{
var html = "<ul>";
foreach(dynamic player in players["data"]) {
html += "<li><p>";
html += "<bold>Player ID</bold>: "+ player["id"];
html += "<bold>Player Alias</bold>: "+ player["alias"];
html += "</p></li>";
}
html += "</ul>";
return html;
}
}In the client page select yes for the first question and no for the second
In this flow you will have a route which will get the authorization code and using this the sdk can get the access token. You need a view which will allow your user to login using the playlyfe platform. And then playlyfe server will make a get request with the code to your redirect uri. And you should find the code in the query params of the url and exchange the code with the Playlyfe SDK.
exchange_code(code)Host your ASP.NET server with ip address localhost:3000
Now you should be able to access the Playlyfe api across all your routes.
public class Code : NancyModule
{
public static Playlyfe plCode = null;
public static string user = null;
public Client ()
{
Get ["/code"] = parameters => {
if(plCode == null)
plCode = new Playlyfe(
client_id: "OGUxYTRlZWUtZTAyOS00ZThjLWIyNzQtNGEwMGRiNjk1ZGRj",
client_secret: "NDMyMDMyOTktM2NhOS00MGJlLTg4NzYtZWJjMzNhNTE1NDYwYTc1NGU2NTAtNWI1ZS0xMWU0LTkwYTEtYTM4MzkzMzkxZTY1",
type: "code",
redirect_uri: "http://localhost:3000/code",
store: null,
load: null,
version: "v1"
);
var dict = (DynamicDictionary) this.Request.Query;
if(dict.ContainsKey("code")) {
plCode.exchange_code(dict["code"].ToString());
user = "logged_in";
}
if(user != null)
{
dynamic players = plCode.get(route: "/game/players", query: null);
return listAllPlayers(players);
}
else {
return "<a href=\""+ plCode.get_login_url() + "\">Please Login to your Playlyfe Account</a>";
}
};
Get ["/logout"] = parameters => {
user = null;
return "logged_out";
};
}
}In the client page select no for the first question and yes for the second
using Playlyfe;
String[] scopes = { "player.runtime.read", "player.runtime.write" };
String token = Playlyfe.Playlyfe.createJWT ("your client_id", "your client_secret",
"student1",// The player id associated with your user
scopes, // The scopes the player has access to
3600 // 1 hour expiry Time
);This is used to create jwt token which can be created when your user is authenticated. This token can then be sent to the frontend and or stored in your session. With this token the user can directly send requests to the Playlyfe API as the player. The token is usually generated in your backend server.
If you would like to use a C# Client with the jwt flow then you can specify the type in the client creation part like this and you will need to request a new token from your backend route which serves the token using getJWTToken().
var jwtClient = new Playlyfe.Playlyfe (
client_id: "your_client_id",
client_secret: "your_client_secret",
type: "jwt",
store: null,
load: null,
version: "v2"
);
// Note you will need to run the ASP Server in the example_server project which serves the token
jwtClient.getJWTToken ("http://localhost:3000/JWT_TOKEN");
var player_id = new Dictionary<string, string> (){ { "player_id", "student1" } };
dynamic player = jwtClient.get(route: "/runtime/player", query: player_id);
Console.WriteLine (player);You can take a look at the examples in the source to see how it works.
Your client has certain access control restrictions. There are 3 kind of resources in the Playlyfe REST API they are,
1./admin -> routes for you to perform admin actions like making a player join a team
2./design -> routes for you to make design changes programmatically
3./runtime -> routes which the users will generally use like getting a player profile, playing an action
The resources accessible to this client can be configured to have a read permission that means only GET requests will work.
The resources accessible to this client can be configured to have a write permission that means only POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE requests will work.
The version restriction is only for the design resource and can be used to restrict the client from accessing any version of the game design other than the one specified. By default it allows all.
If access to a route is not allowed and then you make a request to that route then you will get an error like this,
{
"error": "access_denied",
"error_description": "You are not allowed to access this api route"
}You can initiate a client by giving the client_id and client_secret params
Playlyfe(
client_id: "Your client id",
client_secret: "Your client secret",
type: "client" or "code" or "jwt",
redirect_uri: "The url to redirect to" //only for authorization code flow
store: token => { Console.WriteLine("storing"); } // The lambda which will persist the access token to a database. You have to persist the token to a database if you want the access token to remain the same in every request
load: delegate {
var dict = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
"access_token", "my access token",
"expires_at", "expires_at_time"
};
return dict;
} // The lambda which will load the access token. This is called internally by the sdk on every request so that the access token can be persisted #between requests
)In development the sdk caches the access token in memory so you don"t need to provide the store and load lambdas/delegates. But in production it is highly recommended to persist the token to a database. It is very simple and easy to do it with redis. You can see the test cases for more examples.

client_id: "Your client id",
client_secret: "Your client secret",
type: "client",
