BinaryLane.Api is an unofficial .NET client for the BinaryLane v2 API. It provides typed clients for account, billing, servers, images, DNS, load balancers, VPCs, and other v2 resources.

See the BinaryLane API reference for provider-specific API behaviour.

BinaryLane describes its API as a developer preview. Pin the package version used by production applications and review release notes before upgrading.

This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by BinaryLane. For account or infrastructure support, use BinaryLane Support.

Install

dotnet add package BinaryLane.Api --prerelease

Remove --prerelease once a stable package version is available.

Quick start

Keep the API token in a secret store, user secrets, or an environment variable. Do not commit it to configuration or source control.

using BinaryLane.Api.V2;
using BinaryLane.Api.V2.DependencyInjection;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddBinaryLaneApi(options =>
{
    options.ApiToken = builder.Configuration["BinaryLane:ApiToken"]
        ?? Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("BINARYLANE_API_TOKEN")
        ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("A BinaryLane API token is required.");
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/account", async (IBinaryLaneClient binaryLane, CancellationToken cancellationToken) =>
    await binaryLane.Account.GetAsync(cancellationToken));

app.Run();

Use the resource clients from IBinaryLaneClient:

static async Task ListServersAsync(
    IBinaryLaneClient binaryLane,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    await foreach (var server in binaryLane.Servers.ListAllAsync(cancellationToken: cancellationToken))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{server.Id}: {server.Name}");
    }
}

List methods support CancellationToken. Mutating calls are sent once; add a retry policy only when the operation is known to be safe to repeat.
