The Rust SDK for the Onspring API is meant to simplify development in Rust for Onspring customers who want to build integrations with their Onspring instance.
**Note:** This is an unofficial SDK for the Onspring API. It was not built in consultation with Onspring Technologies LLC or a member of their development team.
This SDK was developed independently using Onspring's existing [C# SDK](https://github.com/onspring-technologies/onspring-api-sdk), the Onspring API's [swagger page](https://api.onspring.com/swagger/index.html), and [API documentation](https://software.onspring.com/hubfs/Training/Admin%20Guide%20-%20v2%20API.pdf) as the starting point with the intention of making development of integrations done in Rust with an Onspring instance quicker and more convenient.
## Dependencies
### Rust
Requires Rust edition 2021 or later (Rust 1.56+).
### Key Crates
| [reqwest](https://crates.io/crates/reqwest) | HTTP client for all API requests |
| [serde](https://crates.io/crates/serde) / [serde_json](https://crates.io/crates/serde_json) | JSON serialization and deserialization |
| [tokio](https://crates.io/crates/tokio) | Async runtime |
| [chrono](https://crates.io/crates/chrono) | Date and time types |
| [uuid](https://crates.io/crates/uuid) | UUID types for list item identifiers |
| [thiserror](https://crates.io/crates/thiserror) | Error type derivation |
## Installation
Add the SDK to your project using Cargo:
```sh
cargo add onspring-api-sdk-rust
```
Or add it directly to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
onspring-api-sdk-rust = "<latest>"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
## API Key
In order to successfully interact with the Onspring API you will need an API key. API keys are obtained by an Onspring user with permissions to at least **Read** API Keys for your instance via the following steps:
1. Login to the Onspring instance.
2. Navigate to **Administration** > **Security** > **API Keys**.
3. On the list page, add a new API Key - this will require **Create** permissions - or click an existing API key to view its details.
4. Click on the **Developer Information** tab.
5. Copy the **X-ApiKey Header** value from this tab.
**Important:**
- An API Key must have a status of `Enabled` in order to make authorized requests.
- Each API Key must have an assigned Role. This role controls the permissions for requests made. If the API Key used does not have sufficient permissions the requests made won't be successful.
### Permission Considerations
You can think of any API Key as another user in your Onspring instance and therefore it is subject to all the same permission considerations as any other user when it comes to its ability to access data in your instance. The API Key you use needs to have all the correct permissions within your instance to access the data requested. Things to think about in this context are `role security`, `content security`, and `field security`.
## Start Coding
### `OnspringClient`
The most common way to use the SDK is to create an `OnspringClient` instance and call its methods. The builder requires an API key and defaults to `https://api.onspring.com` as the base URL.
It is best practice to read these values in from environment variables or a configuration file for both flexibility and security purposes.
Example `.env` file:
```env
API_KEY=000000ffffff000000ffffff/00000000-ffff-0000-ffff-000000000000
BASE_URL=https://api.onspring.com
```
Example constructing `OnspringClient`:
```rust
use onspring::OnspringClient;
use std::env;
let client = OnspringClient::builder(env::var("API_KEY").unwrap())
.base_url(env::var("BASE_URL").unwrap())
.build();
```
### Client Configuration
By default when you construct an instance of the `OnspringClient` a new `reqwest::Client` will also be created with a 120-second timeout. You can customize the timeout or provide your own `reqwest::Client`:
```rust
use onspring::OnspringClient;
use std::time::Duration;
// Custom timeout
let client = OnspringClient::builder("your-api-key")
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
.build();
// Custom reqwest client
let http_client = reqwest::Client::builder()
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(60))
.build()
.unwrap();
let client = OnspringClient::builder("your-api-key")
.http_client(http_client)
.build();
```
### Error Handling
All client methods return `onspring::Result<T>`, which is an alias for `Result<T, OnspringError>`. The `OnspringError` enum has the following variants:
- `Http` - An HTTP transport error occurred (network issues, timeouts, etc.).
- `Api { status_code, message }` - The API returned a non-success status code.
- `Serialization` - A JSON serialization or deserialization error occurred.
- `InvalidArgument` - An invalid argument was provided to an SDK method.
```rust
match client.get_app(130).await {
Ok(app) => println!("App: {}", app.name.unwrap_or_default()),
Err(onspring::OnspringError::Api { status_code, message }) => {
eprintln!("API error {}: {}", status_code, message);
}
Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
```
### Full API Documentation
You may wish to refer to the full [Onspring API documentation](https://software.onspring.com/hubfs/Training/Admin%20Guide%20-%20v2%20API.pdf) when determining which values to pass as parameters to some of the `OnspringClient` methods. There is also a [swagger page](https://api.onspring.com/swagger/index.html) that you can use for making exploratory requests.
## Runnable Examples
The `examples/` directory contains runnable examples that demonstrate each endpoint group against a real Onspring instance. They load configuration from a `.env` file in the project root.
Create a `.env` file with your test instance details:
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://your-instance.onspring.com
SANDBOX_API_KEY=your-api-key
TEST_APP_ID=123
TEST_SURVEY_ID=456
TEST_TEXT_FIELD=789
TEST_RECORD=1
TEST_ATTACHMENT_FIELD=101
TEST_ATTACHMENT=202
TEST_IMAGE_FIELD=303
TEST_IMAGE=404
TEST_LIST_ID=505
```
Then run any example:
```sh
cargo run --example ping
cargo run --example apps
cargo run --example fields
cargo run --example records
cargo run --example files
cargo run --example lists
cargo run --example reports
```
## Code Examples
Note the following code snippets assume you've already instantiated an `OnspringClient` as shown in the [OnspringClient](#onspringclient) section and that the code is running within an async context.
