Where is the RestRequest class?

Question

In the C# tab of the getting started of maingun API, I find the following code.

public static RestResponse SendSimpleMessage() {
       RestClient client = new RestClient();
       client.BaseUrl = "https://api.mailgun.net/v2";
       client.Authenticator =
               new HttpBasicAuthenticator("api",
                                          "key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0");
       RestRequest request = new RestRequest();
       request.AddParameter("domain",
                            "samples.mailgun.org", ParameterType.UrlSegment);
       request.Resource = "{domain}/messages";
       request.AddParameter("from", "Excited User <[email protected]>");
       request.AddParameter("to", "[email protected]");
       request.AddParameter("to", "[email protected]");
       request.AddParameter("subject", "Hello");
       request.AddParameter("text", "Testing some Mailgun awesomness!");
       request.Method = Method.POST;
       return client.Execute(request);
}

When I google the name of the class, I find several reference to this class in different contexts. However, I can't seem to find the fully qualified name of the RestRequest class anywhere on the mailgun website, google or MSDN to find it's documentation.

Anybody can point out where is this class defined ?

you need this library: restsharp.org – Werra

No idea why Mailgun doesn't add this to their own documentation. – Leede

Answer 1

The code looks like it uses RestSharp.

Even if the original code doesn't use RestSharp, I suggest converting the code to use it anyway. RestSharp is by far the best rest client library available! – Tricia

Answer 2

RestSharp is available from NuGet. Install it from there.

Answer 3

I run in the same issue. But I found out that if you are using JAVA 8 you don't needs any external librairy but just what java provide already here is my code example.

import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Entity;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Invocation;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedHashMap;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

public class EmailDAO {

public static Response sendNewPasswordMessage() {
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
client.register(new BasicAuthenticator("api","yourkey"));

WebTarget target = client.target("https://api.mailgun.net/v2/your-domain/messages");

MultivaluedMap formData = new MultivaluedHashMap();
formData.add("from", "Test <[email protected]>");
formData.add("to", "[email protected]");
formData.add("subject", "Hello world");
formData.add("html", "Hello world <br /> <br /> ");

Invocation invocation = target.request().buildPost(Entity.form(formData));
return invocation.invoke();
}

}

Hopes it helps.

This is a C#-related question, not Java. – Diaconate
