Example Request

-- luarocks install sonoran.lua
-- For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab for the export-based client.
local Sonoran = require("sonoran")

local sonoran = Sonoran.createClient({
  product = Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
  communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
  apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
  defaultServerId = 1
})

local response = sonoran.cad:getCharactersV2({
    accountUuid = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

Use this tab only when calling the v2 API from the server side of an in-game FiveM resource.

Sonoran.lua and Sonoran.js: use the sonorancad export to call getCharactersV2 directly.
Sonoran.Net: FiveM exports do not return a .NET client. Read the Sonoran CAD convars and create a fresh client.
Sonoran.py: FiveM does not run Python resources; use the Python tab for external integrations.

The API key is stored in sonoran_apiKey as a protected FiveM convar. FiveM restricts a convar after add_convar_permission is configured, so only explicitly permitted resources can read it. Grant another resource access with add_convar_permission your-resource-name read sonoran_apiKey. If you change the API key in config.json, fully restart the sonorancad resource before reading the updated convar value.Sonoran.lua

local response = exports["sonorancad"]:getCharactersV2({
    accountUuid = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

Sonoran.js

const response = exports["sonorancad"].getCharactersV2({
  accountUuid: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
});

console.log(response.success);

Sonoran.Net

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net
using CitizenFX.Core.Native;
using Sonoran;

var communityId = API.GetConvar("sonoran_communityID", "");
var apiKey = API.GetConvar("sonoran_apiKey", "");
var serverIdRaw = API.GetConvar("sonoran_serverId", "1");
var serverId = int.TryParse(serverIdRaw, out var parsedServerId) ? parsedServerId : 1;

using var sonoran = new SonoranClient(new SonoranClientOptions
{
    product = SonoranProduct.CAD,
    communityId = communityId,
    apiKey = apiKey,
    defaultServerId = serverId
});

After getting the C# client:

var response = await sonoran.Cad.getCharactersV2(new GetCharactersV2Query
{
    CommunityUserId = "player-1234"
});

Console.WriteLine(response.success);

For other Sonoran.lua CAD v2 helpers that do not have a direct resource export, get the ready CAD client first:

local cad = exports["sonorancad"]:getCadClient()

// npm install @sonoransoftware/sonoran.js
// For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab for the export-based client.
const Sonoran = require('@sonoransoftware/sonoran.js');

(async () => {
  const instance = new Sonoran.Instance({
    communityId: 'YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    product: Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
    serverId: 1,
  });

  const response = await instance.cad.getCharactersV2({
    accountUuid: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
  });
  console.log(response);
})();

# pip install Sonoran.py
# Sonoran.py is for external Python integrations; FiveM resources should use the SonoranCADFiveM tab.
from sonoran import Instance, productEnums

instance = Instance(
    apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY",
    communityId="YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
    product=productEnums.CAD,
    serverId=1,
)

response = instance.cad.getCharactersV2({
    "accountUuid": '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
  })

print(response.success)
print(response.data if response.success else response.reason)

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net
// For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab; .NET creates a fresh client from convars.
using Sonoran;

using var sonoran = new SonoranClient(new SonoranClientOptions
{
    product = SonoranProduct.CAD,
    communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
    apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
    defaultServerId = 1
});

var response = await sonoran.Cad.getCharactersV2(new GetCharactersV2Query
{
    CommunityUserId = "player-1234"
});

Console.WriteLine(response.success);
Console.WriteLine(response.data);
