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:createIdentifierV2('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000', {
    status = 0,
    unitNum = '1A-01',
    name = 'John Doe',

  })

-- 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 get the ready CAD client.
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 cad = exports["sonorancad"]:getCadClient()

Sonoran.js

const cad = exports["sonorancad"].getCadClient();

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 Lua export client:

local response = cad:createIdentifierV2('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000', {
    status = 0,
    unitNum = '1A-01',

    department = 'Police',
    subdivision = 'Patrol',
    rank = 'Officer',
  })

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