Check Community Link

Check whether a community user ID is linked to an account.

POST https://api.sonorancad.com/v2/general/links/check

Rate limit: 30 requests per minute Authenticated v2 endpoints are rate limited per API key rather than per IP address.

Resolve a communityUserId to the linked Sonoran CAD account UUID inside the authenticated community.

Request Body

{
  "communityUserId": "player_12345"
}

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:checkCommunityLinkV2({
    communityUserId = 'player_12345',
  })

-- 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:checkCommunityLinkV2({
    communityUserId = 'player_12345',
  })

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

// 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.checkCommunityLinkV2({
    communityUserId: 'player_12345',
  });
  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.checkCommunityLinkV2({
    "communityUserId": 'player_12345',
  })

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.checkCommunityLinkV2(new CommunityLinkV2Request
{
    CommunityUserId = "player-1234"
});

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

Response

Successful requests return application/json.

Linked:

{
  "communityUserId": "player_12345",
  "linked": true,
  "accountUuid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

Not linked:

{
  "communityUserId": "player_12345",
  "linked": false,
  "accountUuid": null
}

If you want to avoid polling after creating a link code, listen for the Community Link Verified push event instead.
