Deserialize Inconsistent JSON

I'm trying to create a basic Xamarin Forms app that can list available gateways on my PFsense firewall, Show the available gateway and change this to another gateway to route through if required. The problem I have is I cannot deserialize the JSON in C# because each object has a different object name:
{
"status": "ok",
"code": 200,
"return": 0,
"message": "Success",
"data": {

},

}
}
}
Here's how I've gone about trying to deserialize:
string authHeader = Constants.AUTH_HEADER;
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", authHeader);
var response = await client.GetAsync(Constants.GATEWAY);
var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var gateways = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(json);
The C# Object (Generated using json to C# converter):

The problem is in the gateways variable, all of the properties are null. I think because of how the JSON is structured in the response, it might not be possible in C#, but perhaps there's another way of going about it?
The API for the firewall is here:

Querying Json with Linq, Cannot access child value

I am new to C# with JSON. I would like to select with Nvidia API, the "featuredProduct" part, but I have an error
Cannot access child value on Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JProperty.
This code works for the "searchedProducts" part.
Can you explain to me why?
const string url = "";
const int refresh = 3000;
string json = getGpuFromNvidia(url);
var jsonParse = JObject.Parse(json);
var result = jsonParse["searchedProducts"]["featuredProduct"]
.Where(n => n["isFounderEdition"].Value<bool>() == true)
.Select(p => new CarteGraphique
{
displayName = (string)p["displayName"],
prdStatus = (string)p["prdStatus"],
directPurchaseLink = (string)p["retailers"][0]["directPurchaseLink"]
})
.ToList();

I tested this code in VS
string json = ...your code
var jsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<NvidiaRoot>(json);
var result = jsonObj.searchedProducts.productDetails
.Where(n => n.isFounderEdition)
.Select(p => new
{
displayName = p.displayName,
prdStatus = p.prdStatus,
directPurchaseLink = p.retailers[0].directPurchaseLink
})
.ToList();
OUTPUT
[

UPDATE
if you need just a feature product
var featuredProduct = jsonObj.searchedProducts.featuredProduct;
var result = new
{
displayName = featuredProduct.displayName,
prdStatus = featuredProduct.prdStatus,
directPurchaseLink = featuredProduct.retailers[0].directPurchaseLink
};

You can try the below code.
To get the Featured Product. Sample Working code Here
var jsonParse = JObject.Parse(json);
var featuredProduct = jsonParse["searchedProducts"]["featuredProduct"];
var f = new CarteGraphique
{
displayName = featuredProduct["displayName"].ToString(),
prdStatus = featuredProduct["prdStatus"].ToString(),
directPurchaseLink = featuredProduct["retailers"][0]["directPurchaseLink"].ToString()
};
Console.WriteLine("Featured Product Details : " + f.displayName + ", " + f.prdStatus + ", " + f.directPurchaseLink);

================
I am tring to deserialize a JSON string in to a nested object. However, it results in an exception. To me the exception looks irrelevant.
Above I have shared the JSON and the C# Class structure. I am trying to Deserialize the JSON but it
throws "Could not load file or assembly 'System.ComponentModel.Annotations, exception...."
I have also tried using a simple object structure and JSON, it worked.

So, as mentioned before, the exception is irrelevant (not helpful). Here is how I debug this issue.
1) Add ErrorHandler
// Created a JsonSerializerSettings and passed it to DeserializeObject
var jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings { Error = ErrorHandler };
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ParkingOfferDetailsDTO>(responseJson, jsonSettings);
/// Actual handler method
List<string> errors = new List<string>();
private void ErrorHandler(object sender, ErrorEventArgs e)
{
errors.Add(e.ErrorContext.Error.Message);
e.ErrorContext.Handled = true;
}
This helped in two ways,
1) There is no exception thrown but the same error (exception) is passed to the error handler.
2) The (incomplete) serialized object is returned.
This pointed out which part of object serialization is causing an exception.
Now issue in my code/model. I have [Required] attribute on some properties. Not sure why but that caused the Deserialization error.

Issue deserializing stripe json response

I have made a class to deserialize stripe json response it works find but on some i am getting error :
Cannot convert null to a value type.
Even though i can see type is always there at the end.
This is the response:

After analyzing your json and class objects for json.
You json contains property with name "trial_period_days": null, has been null and you declare its respective property of type integer public int trial_period_days { get; set; } in Plan class object.
So int is a value type and cannot be cast to null.
To get rid from this exception you need to modify your property to either of below.
public object trial_period_days { get; set; }
OR
public int? trial_period_days { get; set; }
And same for your remaining properties inside Object class for trial_start and trial_end.
Note: Don't use Object as your custom class name because it already predefined class in .net framework.

Because there are some properties are null in your JSON data but you use value type to carry it.
You can try to use string type to represent your null value properties for those models to carry your JSON data.

Note
There are two way can create model easily.
You can use Web Essentials in Visual Studio, use Edit > Paste special > paste JSON as a class, you can easier to know the relation between Json and model.
If you can't use Web Essentials you can instead of use http://json2csharp.com/ online JSON to Model class.
You can try to use those models to carry your JSON Format.

Parsing JSON request - receiving error

I am currently receiving JSON and I'm trying to then get that response broken down and into a class. The code I have so far is as follows:
public class Response
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
public void Example()
{
string JSONResponse = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(FetchDeskData("cases"));
// Errors on this next line
Response trimmedResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response>(JSONResponse);
}
The data that "FetchDeskData("cases") is returning is (this), however, on the line that errors, I receive the following error:
Error converting value "{"total_entries":598042,"page":1,"...(continues)
Should I be parsing this JSON in a different way? Is there something I should be doing prior to serialising/deserialising?
I'm pulling this data from desk.com, they have some documentation that you can find at http://dev.desk.com but it doesn't seem to be telling me that I need to filter something out before parsing it.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You can use Visual Studio 2013, 2015 to create your model classes from a json, I did it and I parsed the JSON fine.
To use this feature, you must have JSON/XML in your clipboard, put your cursor inside a .cs file and then use the option Edit > Paste Special > Paste JSON AS Classes
Look the code that was generated:

I solved this by using the following code in order to parse/read the response from the API:
private void TestProcess()
{
JObject objData = JObject.Parse(FetchJSONData());
string sName = (string)objData["customers"][1]["Name"];
int iAge = (int)objData["customers"][1]["Age"];
}
private string FetchJSONData()
{
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("https://api.website.com");
string sAPICredentials = "username" + ":" + "password";
req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(sAPICredentials)));
try
{
WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();
Stream rcvStream = res.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader rdrStream = new StreamReader(rcvStream, Encoding.UTF8);
string JSONResponse = rdrStream.ReadToEnd();
return JSONResponse;
}
catch (WebException we)
{
var response = we.Response as HttpWebResponse;
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Forbidden)
{
// Deal with error
}
}
}
This is a simplified example and you should be populating a class with this information, however this should get you started in retrieving the data.
