Zig SDK

authdog 0.1.0 is the official Zig client for the Authdog REST API. Add it from the authdog/sdk monorepo. It is a management and userinfo client, not a web-framework session binding.

Need to protect a web route? Use a backend SDK for your server framework, or call userinfo yourself with this client.

Install

Add the dependency to build.zig.zon:

.dependencies = .{
    .authdog = .{
        .url = "https://github.com/authdog/sdk/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz",
        .hash = "YOUR_PACKAGE_HASH",
    },
},

Then in build.zig:

const authdog_dep = b.dependency("authdog", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});
exe.root_module.addImport("authdog", authdog_dep.module("authdog"));

Pin a commit (or a tagged archive) and put the matching package hash in build.zig.zon. Requires Zig 0.16.0+. The SDK uses only the Zig standard library. Source: `zig/` in authdog/sdk.

Configure

Construct one client with the public API base URL. Pass a management Bearer credential (ad_…) when you call privileged endpoints:

const std = @import("std");
const authdog = @import("authdog");

var client = try authdog.AuthdogClient.init(allocator, .{
    .base_url = "https://api.authdog.com",
    .api_key = std.posix.getenv("AUTHDOG_API_TOKEN"),
    .timeout_ms = 10_000,
});
defer client.deinit();

Keep the token server-side. getUserInfo still uses the caller access token, not the management key.

health() is public and works without an API key:

const probe = try client.health();

Optional constructor fields environment_secret (adenv_), scim_token (adscim_), and hris_token (adhris_) are the AuthZEN/MCP runtime, SCIM, and HRIS Bearers.

Resolve a user from an access token

const user_info = client.getUserInfo(access_token) catch |err| {
    if (authdog.isAuthenticationError(err)) {
        // 401: missing, invalid, or expired access token
        return err;
    }
    if (authdog.isApiError(err)) {
        // transport or non-401 HTTP failure
        return err;
    }
    return err;
};
defer user_info.deinit();

_ = user_info.user.display_name;
if (user_info.user.emails.len > 0) {
    _ = user_info.user.emails[0].value;
}

GET /v1/userinfo always sends Authorization: Bearer <access-token>. A constructor API key does not replace that header.

UserInfoResponse uses snake_case fields (user.display_name, session.remaining_seconds).

Call the management API

Namespaces wrap Waves 1–3 of the public /v1 surface:

const orgs = try client.organizations.list();
defer orgs.deinit();

const users = try client.users.list("ten_123", "env_456", .{ .limit = 25 });
defer users.deinit();

Directory calls take tenant_id then environment_id. OpenAPI at `/v1/openapi` is the field-level contract.

Errors

Use isAuthenticationError / isApiError to branch on type. Use client.lastErrorMessage() for the stable message text.
