Benten Client Sample

A Windows Forms application demonstrating how to integrate the Benten SDK into a .NET application.

This sample shows all four Benten approval request types:

• Login approval
• Credit card transaction approval
• IoT device setting change approval
• Generic notification approval

---

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK
• Windows (WinForms)
• A Benten developer account and an API key (create one on the developer dashboard)
• At least one user with a registered device in the Benten system

---

Running the sample

git clone https://github.com/bentenauth/benten-client-sample.git
cd benten-client-sample/BentenSampleClient
dotnet run

Or open BentenSampleClient.csproj in Visual Studio and press F5.

Configuration

Fill in the fields in the UI:

Field	Description
WebSocket server URL	wss://api.bententechnologies.com/v2/
API key	Your Benten API key (bnt_sk_…). Filled in from the BENTEN_API_KEY environment variable if it is set.
Country	Country for the target user's phone number
Phone number	The Benten user's registered phone number
Request type	Select the type of approval to request

---

How the sample works

1. Click Run.
2. The SDK exchanges your API key for a short-lived access token (POST /v2/auth/token), and reuses it for later runs until it is about to expire.
3. It opens a WebSocket to the Benten API and sends the selected request as JSON.
4. The Benten API sends a push notification to the user's phone (identified by country + phone number).
5. The user taps Allow or Deny in the Benten App.
6. The result is returned on the WebSocket and displayed in the output log.
