So I’ve just started out using the RC api, and I’ve got a project going, just a simple little console app to automate user creation and eventually deletion. After going over the documentation, I have a slice of code that it seems should be working, but I’m getting a null reference exception when I actually try to make the api call. Here’s my code: 

using System;
using RingCentral;

class Test1
{
    static string accountId = "fakeID";

    static RestClient rc = new RestClient(
            "fakeid",
            "fakesecret",
            "https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com"
        );

    static ExtensionCreationRequest extensionCreationRequest = new ExtensionCreationRequest
    {
        contact = new ContactInfoCreationRequest
        {
            firstName = "Test",
            lastName = "Sam",
            jobTitle = "Test",
            email = "test.sam@fakeplace.org",
            emailAsLoginName = true,
            department = "Test"
        },
        extensionNumber = "1234",
        password = "*****",
        type = "User"
    };
    public static void Main(stringi] args)
    {
        Response();
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    private static async void Response()
    {
        var r = await rc.Restapi().Account(accountId).Extension().Post(extensionCreationRequest);
        Console.WriteLine(r.status);
    }
}

 I’ve scoured the internet looking for more examples of this sort of thing, but there’s not much out there. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Your code is weird and is not reusable.


...
  static RestClient restClient;
  static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
      restClient = new RestClient(
      Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RC_APP_CLIENT_ID"),
      Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RC_APP_CLIENT_SECRET"),
      Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RC_SERVER_URL"));
      await restClient.Authorize(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RC_USER_JWT"));
      await create_user_extension();
  }

  static private async Task create_user_extension()
  {
    var bodyParams = new ExtensionCreationRequest
    {
        contact = new ContactInfoCreationRequest
            {
              firstName = "Tester",
              lastName = "Fake",
              jobTitle = "Test",
              email = "test.fake@whatever.org",
              emailAsLoginName = true,
              department = "Test"
            },
            extensionNumber = "1234",
            password = "****",
            type = "User"
    };

    var resp = await restClient.Restapi().Account().Extension().Post(bodyParams);
    Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(resp));
  }
