Consuming web API into Blazor - c#

I'm trying to consume a web API into Blazor but am struggling to extract certain information from the API
using System.Text.Json;
namespace CA3.Song
{
public class SongService : ISongService
{
private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;
const string _baseUrl = "https://genius-song-lyrics1.p.rapidapi.com/";
const string _songEndpoint = "songs/chart?time_period=day&chart_genre=all&per_page=10&page=1";
const string _host = "genius-song-lyrics1.p.rapidapi.com";
const string _key = "{key}";
public SongService(HttpClient httpClient)
{
_httpClient = httpClient;
}
public async Task<List<SongItem>> GetSong()
{
Configure();
var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(_songEndpoint);
var response_outcome = response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode;
using var stream = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
var dto = await JsonSerializer.DeserializeAsync<SongDto>(stream);
return dto.response.chart_items.Select(n => new SongItem { Artist = n.item.primary_artist, Title = n.item.primary_title, ReleaseDate = n.primary_release_date }).ToList().T ;
}
private void Configure()
{
_httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(_baseUrl);
_httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-RapidAPI-Host", _host);
_httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Rapid-Key", _key);
}
}
}
The issue is on the return statement using LINQ.

Above is the JSON file and I'm trying to extract the artist name, song title and release date from Item but it isn't in a list so I'm trying to find a way to extract this info using LINQ. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I think you misinterpreted the declaration of the JSON. They are stored in an array Chart_Items[] chart_items thus you may use linq.
There are many ways to do this, I took advantage of named tuples in modern C# paired with linq.
Response r = new Response();//some resonse from api
var results = r.chart_items.Select(i => (i.item.artist_names, i.item.title, i.item.release_date_components)).ToList();
foreach(var result in results)
{
string artist_names = result.artist_names;
string title = result.title;
Release_Date_Components release_date_components = result.release_date_components;
}

Cannot deserialize the current JSON in C#

I faced the problem: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object.
As follows:
public List<Track> Tracks { get; set; }
public async Task<List<Track>> GetTracking()
{
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
using (var requests = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("GET"), "urlxxxxxxxx..."))
{
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
requests.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("accept", "application/json");
var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(requests);
using (HttpContent content = response.Content)
{
var jsonStr = content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Track>>(jsonStr); //Get Error**
Tracks = res;
}
}
}
return Tracks;
}

My input data:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12g0nHkHlmbU4Af8crHlzKXD_ERIZdCyH/view?usp=sharing
As in my description. I get the error: I get the error: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[XX. Models.Track]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
Even though I declared: public List events { get; set; }
Is the problem I have misunderstood the format of DeserializeObject. Looking forward to everyone's help. Thank
you have an object, not an array
var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(jsonStr);
and fix class
public class Events
{
....
public List<DocumentReferencesMearsk> documentReferences { get; set; }
public TransportCallMaersk transportCall { get; set; }
}
Your model is incomplete and has typos. Assuming you have the correct versions of them.
You are doing:
var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Track>>(jsonStr);
which should be just:
var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(jsonStr);
Your json doesn't have an array at the root level.
Full working sample:
void Main()
{
var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(myJson);

EDIT: Result is something like:

App is freezing when trying to deserialize Json string to object

I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. When debugging, I can step through each line, but when it hits the DeserializeObject line, the program doesn't do anything. I can no longer step over or do anything else with the program. No error messages are being thrown either.

As mentioned in a comment your class definition doesn't seem to match the JSON response, assuming you're using Visual Studio it's probably worth opening Debug / Windows / Exception Settings and make sure "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" is checked. Sometimes I've found stepping over in multi-threaded apps can produce unusual results after an exception.
When I pasted your code into LINQPad I got errors on several members you've defined as List<string> when the underlying type is more complex. What I normally do to avoid those errors is copy the raw json from a browser window to the clipboard and with a CS file open in Visual Studio do an Edit / Paste Special / Paste JSON as classes to automatically create the classes. After doing that I got the following that deserialized the data fine:
async Task Main()
{
await LookupMonsterStats("aboleth");
}
public async Task LookupMonsterStats(string name)

C# Json Deserialization fails

I'm trying to make an application that can show local TV guide trough JSON rest api C #, but has some problems with deserialization of my Json response.
i'm only intresest in the array NOW in my json call and i do not own the api service.
I get this error message:
An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.DLL but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[TDC_Play_TV_Mobil.superclass2+Now]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'now', line 1, position 7.
My function:
private HttpClient client;
public async Task<List<superclass2.Now>> GetComments()
{
client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("http://api.yousee.tv/rest/tvguide/nowandnext/"));

{

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(json);
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<superclass2.Now>>(json));

Your JSON isn't a List<superclass2.Now>, it's a superclass2.RootObject. So you need to do something like:
public async Task<List<superclass2.Now>> GetComments()
{
client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("http://api.yousee.tv/rest/tvguide/nowandnext/"));
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(json);
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<superclass2.RootObject>(json));
var value = await task;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Comments er lavet");
return (value == null ? null : value.now);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Errorhandling message");
}
}
Agree with Jon Skeet it would be nicer to eliminate the nesting of classes, purely for improved readability. If you need these classes to exist only in a specific scope, it is better to use nested namespaces. They aren't causing your bug, however.

Windows 8 store , Json Deserialize

im trying to deserialize a Json that i get from a webservice Like so:
Uri urlJson = new Uri("http://optimizingconcepts.com/staging/cartuxa/system/json_request.php?lang=pt");
var client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(urlJson);
var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
the Json i get is this:http://paste2.org/MpYJd8kk
I then do this to get the JsonObject:
JsonObject root = Windows.Data.Json.JsonValue.Parse(jsonString).GetObject();
What i want to know, is the correct way of saving each object from json to a list
so the objects from "home" would be in a List, the objects from "artigos" would go to a List and so on.
Using Json.Net, it can be done as follows
Uri urlJson = new Uri("http://optimizingconcepts.com/staging/cartuxa/system/json_request.php?lang=pt");
var client = new HttpClient();
var json = await client.GetStringAsync(urlJson);
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Cartuxa.RootObject>(json);
I used http://json2csharp.com/ to generate below classes.
public class Cartuxa
