C#

Fetch secrets for your C# ASP.NET Core application using the Doppler API.

We don't have a C# SDK available yet, but if you'd like to be notified when it's available, please reach out to us at [email protected].

In the meantime, you can use the below code sample as a starting point which uses our download secrets API for fetching secrets at runtime.

Service Token

The first step is to create a Service Token to provide read-only access to the project and config you wish to supply secrets for:

Then expose the Service Token value to your environment using the DOPPLER_TOKEN environment variable

export DOPPLER_TOKEN='dp.st.dev.xxxx'

$env:DOPPLER_TOKEN = 'dp.st.dev.xxxx'

SET VAR_NAME=dp.st.dev.xxxx

Secrets API

Here is a simple secrets fetching example.

            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", dopplerToken);
            var streamTask = client.GetStreamAsync("https://api.doppler.com/v3/configs/config/secrets/download?format=json");
            var secrets = await JsonSerializer.DeserializeAsync<Doppler>(await streamTask);

            return secrets;
