# Groups.io API example in C\#
This example shows how to call two [Groups.io][gio] [APIs][api] from a C#
app:
* [`login`][login]
* [`updateprofile`][updateprofile]
I've chosen to use a .NET Core 3.1 app.
## Running
Ensure you have a copy of [.NET Core SDK 3.1][dotnet] or later installed.
(.NET 5 or later will work too.)
Clone this repository:
```cmd
git clone https://github.com/chwarr/gio-api-example.git
```
Run the example by giving it the email to login as and a new location for
that user's profile:
```cmd
dotnet run [email protected] "Somewhere on the Internet"
```
You will be prompted for the password and a 2FA code.
## Credentials
The Groups.io API has two ways of performing authentication: you can either
use a login token from the login response or use cookies. This example uses
cookies as it is easier to program against, as `HttpClient` silently handles
parsing them from responses and adding them to requests, and it enables
access to more Groups.io features.
