Hello Everyone,   As you may know, Microsoft has support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 and is removing support for .NET 6 and .NET 7.  To match their support practices, we will be updating our .NET SDK to add support for these while removing support for the ones that they no longer covered.   It is recommended to update your SDK and framework versions with this new release.  If that is not possible for you to update your .NET version once this is released, please contact support or open a Github issue. ...

As a developer-focused business, Sinch understands the need to constantly consolidate and refine our resources to be more accommodating.  Our Sinch Software Development Kits (SDKs) allow access to multiple APIs, extend the number of languages supported, and feel a bit more tailored to your language of choice.   Access the Sinch SDKs Whether you're a new user or have been with us for a while, we encourage you to explore our new SDKs:     SDK Github Repository Supported Products Documentation   Python SDK Learn more https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-python SMS SMS SDK Documentation Numbers Numbers SDK Documentation Voice Voice SDK Documentation Verification Verification SDK Documentation     .NET SDK Learn more https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-dotnet SMS SMS SDK Documentation Numbers Numbers SDK Documentation Voice Voice SDK Documentation Verification Verification SDK Documentation     Java SDK Learn more https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-java SMS SMS SDK Documentation Numbers Numbers SDK Documentation Voice Voice SDK Documentation Verification Verification SDK Documentation      Node.js SDK Learn more https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-node SMS SMS SDK Documentation Numbers Numbers SDK Documentation Voice Voice SDK Documentation Verification Verification SDK Documentation   About our SDKs We started out by establishing a common framework for functionality we wanted to be consistent across the board. Problems like pagination, error code response, language familiarity, and other issues needed standardization regardless of the underlying API setup.  For example, two common approaches to pagination are page-based and token.  Depending on the API, there are pros and cons to each approach.       However, in our SDKs, we provide a single iterator object you can use to parse through your results: Example of our Python paginator   To further enhance your experience, we've made several minor improvements, including centralizing our client around a single authentication model, ensuring support for all actively supported language versions, and reducing reliance on third-party libraries. Over the next few months, we'll be rolling out a series of articles to provide a deeper dive into each specific language SDK. While we continue to expand our coverage across all APIs, we'll keep you informed about relevant support additions to each SDK.   We're confident our SDKs will enhance your Sinch experience significantly. Thank you for being a part of the Sinch Developer Community.   If you have any questions or need help check out our Sinch Community Site  or you can reach out to us at onlineteam@sinch.com.

The Sinch Node.js SDK was designed for developers. The SDK components are built with the specific language first and foremost in mind. After that, our focus was to keep the design simple for users that only want to leverage specific API calls they use but ensure customizability and future-proof access to other parts of our infrastructure.    The Node.js SDK has added common capabilities to further streamline the interaction with our platform:  We have provided a simple HTTP component for ease of use. We have provided automated token management/refresh code, so developers can use the system without micromanaging their authorization/authentication. We have provided webhook helpers to serialize/deserialize in communication with our servers and validate webhook authentication. Another goal of ours while designing this new Node.js SDK was to mimic our REST APIs as much as possible, while still providing a Node.js developer experience.  We also use IDE type hints which, along with the REST API specification, allows the user to perform most API interactions without the need to use reference documentation.  With all these common items, we hope to build out consistent frameworks with functionality all users will commonly leverage.   Discoverability is one of the key components of great DX, hence Node.js SDK namespaces are small and specific yet descriptive.   For example: const response = await sinchClient.numbers.availableNumber.list({   regionCode: 'US',   type: 'LOCAL',   capabilities: ['SMS', 'VOICE'], });   The main client class organizes the Sinch product portfolio (called domains within SDK) and its features into hierarchy that produces an API that is easy to read and discover.   Currently, we support Node.js 18 (Hydrogen) and Node.js 20 LTS (Iron) versions. Language versions will be supported until EOL.   One 3 rd party library is used by the Node.js SDK, the node-fetch package, until it can be removed when the oldest version to support will be Node.js 21 which supports the Fetch API natively. For now, SMS, Numbers, Verification and Voice APIs are supported, with other public Sinch APIs to be added soon.   For further details and to download our SDK, please refer to:   GitHub: https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-node NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sinch/sdk-core ...

Discoverability is one of the key components of great DX, hence Java SDK namespaces are small and specific yet descriptive. For example: var response = SinchClient                .numbers()                .available()                .list(AvailableNumberListAllRequestParameters.builder()                          .setType(NumberType.MOBILE)                          .setRegionCode("US")                          .build()); The main client class organizes the Sinch product portfolio (called domains within SDK) and its features into hierarchy that produces an API that is easy to read and discover.   Currently, we support Java 8 and later LTS versions. Language versions will be supported until EOL. Two 3rd party libraries are used by the Java SDK, the HTTP Apache client and Jackson.. Serialization/deserialization are managed by the SDK for webhooks integration. For now, SMS, Numbers, Verification and Voice APIs are supported, with other public Sinch APIs to be added soon. We also provide online Javadocs for additional information.

After that, our focus was to keep the design simple for users that only want to leverage specific API calls they use but ensure customizability and future-proof access to other parts of our infrastructure.    The .NET SDK has added common capabilities to further streamline the interaction with our platform: We’ve provided a simple HTTP component but allow users to override that with their own custom version if needed.  There is asynchronous support for all API calls, regardless of the original endpoint functionality.  We’ve provided automated token management/refresh code, so developers can use the system without micromanaging their authorization/authentication. With all these common items, we hope to build out consistent frameworks with functionality all users require.   Another goal of ours while designing this new .NET SDK was to mimic our REST APIs as much as possible, while still providing .NET developer experience.  We also use IDE type hints which, along with the REST API specification, allows the user to perform most API interactions without the need to use reference documentation.   Discoverability is one of the key components of great DX, hence .NET SDK namespaces are small and specific yet descriptive.   For example: var response = await sinchClient.Numbers.Available.List(new ListAvailableNumbersRequest() {     Type = Types.Mobile,     RegionCode = "US"B });   The main client class organizes the Sinch product portfolio (called domains within SDK) and its features into hierarchy that produces an API that is easy to read and discover.     No third-party libraries are used by the NET SDK. Currently, supported .NET versions: NET 6, NET 7, NET 8. New stable versions will be added in the future, while older/EOL versions will be deprecated.   For now, SMS, Numbers, Voice, and Verification APIs are supported, with other public Sinch APIs to be added soon.   For further details and to download our SDK, please refer to: GitHub: https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-dotnet NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Sinch/ ...

New stable versions will be added in the future, while older/EOL versions will be deprecated.    For now, the SMS, Numbers, Conversation API  and Verification APIs are supported, with other public Sinch APIs to be added soon.    More Details and Download Info For further details and to download our SDK, please refer to:  GitHub: https://github.com/sinch/sinch-sdk-python  PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/sinch/   ...
