I'm in the process of creating a C# console application which reads text from a text file, turns it into a JSON formatted string (held in a string variable), and needs to POST the JSON request to a web api. I'm using .NET Framework 4.
My struggle is with creating the request and getting the response, using C#. What is the basic code that is necessary? Comments in the code would be helpful. What I've got so far is the below, but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.
//POST JSON REQUEST TO API
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("POST URL GOES HERE?");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(jsonPOSTString);
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
// Send the data.
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
//RESPONSE HERE
Have you tried using the WebClient class?
you should be able to use
string result = "";
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";
result = client.UploadString(url, "POST", json);
}
Console.WriteLine(result);

Try using Web API HttpClient
static async Task RunAsync()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://domain.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
// HTTP POST
var obj = new MyObject() { Str = "MyString"};
response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("POST URL GOES HERE?", obj );
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
response.//.. Contains the returned content.
}
}
}

i am trying to call api using WebRequest, Api method is post following is my code.
string ContactUs = "https://nestiolistings.com/api/v1/clients/" + APIKey;
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ContactUs);
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic ############");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Accept = "application/json";
JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
List<people> list = new List<people>();
people obj = new people();
obj.first_name = model.Name;
obj.last_name = model.Name;
obj.email = model.Email;
obj.phone_1 = "";
obj.date_of_birth = "";
list.Add(obj);
RequestModel rm = new RequestModel();
rm.people = list;
rm.notes = model.Message;
// string yourdata = jss.Deserialize<UserInputParameters>(stdObj);
string yourdata = jss.Serialize(rm);
StreamWriter requestWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
requestWriter.Write(yourdata);
requestWriter.Close();
StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
string responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
responseReader.Close();
request.GetResponse().Close();
But it gives all time 404 not found error.please some one help.
string ContactUs = "https://nestiolistings.com/api/v1/clients/" + APIKey;
I don't think you should be appending the API key to the URL. Say your key was 12345, you'll end up with a URL like https://nestiolistings.com/api/v1/clients/12345.
That won't map to a valid resource in the API - the "clients" method is for creating clients, for that reason it doesn't accept specific Client IDs as extra route parameters (because the Client doesn't exist yet therefore doesn't have an ID), and even if it did and made logical sense to do so, your API key would, obviously, not match a valid Client ID.
The API Key should be provided in the authorisation header by the looks of it.
So:
string ContactUs = "https://nestiolistings.com/api/v1/clients/";
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ContactUs);
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + APIKey);
(This is assuming that APIKey is already a base64-encoded string as required by the API).
See http://developers.nestio.com/api/v1/clients.html and http://developers.nestio.com/api/v1/auth.html for further information.

Hello i'm trying to collect all data from website.
On start i collecting all links on that website. After that accessing them.
The problem is when i accessing multiple pages of website the "Invalid URI: The URI is empty" error is showing in some pages. These are some of those failed urls.
http://syayoyu.com/category/zensinyokudiet
http://syayoyu.com/fruitgranola-6759.html
http://syayoyu.com/category/diet/fruitgranola
Accessing from browser and accessing them one by one is working ok. But when i try to access in loop the error is occuring. Would you please tell me what is wrong with it.
This is my accessing code
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
request.UserAgent = "A .NET Web Crawler";
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
string htmlText = reader.ReadToEnd();
List<string> list = new List<string>(){
#"http://syayoyu.com/category/zensinyokudiet",
#"http://syayoyu.com/fruitgranola-6759.html",
#"http://syayoyu.com/category/diet/fruitgranola"
};
foreach (var url in list)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
request.UserAgent = "A .NET Web Crawler";
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
//Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
//StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
//string htmlText = reader.ReadToEnd();
//Console.WriteLine(htmlText);
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
string htmlText = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(htmlText);
}
}
}
In my solution, it works fine,so is there any questions you don't know?

I am trying to decode JSON returned by the website http://wthrcdn.etouch.cn/weather_mini?city=北京. When I look at this URL with Firefox using Unicode encoding, I see the following valid JSON:
{"desc":"OK","status":1000,"data":{"wendu":"20","ganmao":"各项气象条件适宜，发生感冒机率较低。但请避免长期处于空调房间中，以防感冒。","forecast":[{"fengxiang":"无持续风向","fengli":"微风级","high":"高温 27℃","type":"晴","low":"低温 15℃","date":"30日星期四"},{"fengxiang":"南风","fengli":"3-4级","high":"高温 30℃","type":"多云","low":"低温 16℃","date":"1日星期五"},{"fengxiang":"北风","fengli":"3-4级","high":"高温 25℃","type":"小到中雨","low":"低温 14℃","date":"2日星期六"},{"fengxiang":"无持续风向","fengli":"微风级","high":"高温 25℃","type":"多云","low":"低温 14℃","date":"3日星期天"},{"fengxiang":"无持续风向","fengli":"微风级","high":"高温 26℃","type":"多云","low":"低温 13℃","date":"4日星期一"}],"yesterday":{"fl":"微风","fx":"无持续风向","high":"高温 27℃","type":"晴","low":"低温 15℃","date":"29日星期三"},"aqi":"149","city":"北京"}}
But if I try to get and decode this JSON with HttpWebRequest the result is always gibberish:
string http = "http://wthrcdn.etouch.cn/weather_mini?city=北京";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(http); //创建一个请求示例
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); //获取响应，即发送请求
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
string jsonStr = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(jsonStr);
Produces

How can I decode the JSON from this web site using HttpWebRequest?
The response is compressed so you need to enable automatic decompression. Also, you should wrap your disposables in using statements:
string http = "http://wthrcdn.etouch.cn/weather_mini?city=北京";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(http); //创建一个请求示例
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.Deflate | DecompressionMethods.GZip;
using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) //获取响应，即发送请求
using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
string jsonStr = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
// Use the JSON string.
// Starts out with {"desc":"OK","status":1000,"data":{"wendu":"20","ganmao":"各项气象条件适宜，...
Console.WriteLine(jsonStr);
}
Note that my console doesn't display Chinese characters. If yours doesn't either, the result of writing to the console will contain many "?" characters.

How to post data to specific URL using WebClient in C#
(9 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I need to submit data via POST request to a third party api, I have the url to submit to, but I am trying to avoid first sending the data to the client-side and then posting it again from there. Is there a way to POST information from codebehind directly?
Any ideas are appreciated.
From the server side you can post it to the url.
See the sample code from previous stackoverflow question - HTTP request with post
using (var wb = new WebClient())
{
var data = new NameValueCollection();
data["username"] = "myUser";
data["password"] = "myPassword";
var response = wb.UploadValues(url, "POST", data);
}
Use the WebRequest class to post.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/debx8sh9(v=vs.110).aspx
Alternatively you can also use HttpClient class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.http.httpclient(v=vs.110).aspx
Hope this helps. Please post if you are facing issues.
Something like this?
string URI = "http://www.myurl.com/post.php";
string myParameters = "param1=value1¶m2=value2¶m3=value3";
using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{
wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
string HtmlResult = wc.UploadString(URI, myParameters);
}
How to post data to specific URL using WebClient in C#
You should to use WebRequest class:
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestedUrl);
request.Method = 'POST';
using (var resp = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {
// your logic...
}

This may be a pathetically simple problem, but I cannot seem to format the post webrequest/response to get data from the Wikipedia API. I have posted my code below if anyone can help me see my problem.
string pgTitle = txtPageTitle.Text;
Uri address = new Uri("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php");
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
string action = "query";
string query = pgTitle;
StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder();
data.Append("action=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(action));
data.Append("&query=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(query));
byte[] byteData = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString());
request.ContentLength = byteData.Length;
using (Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length);
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
// Get the response stream.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
divWikiData.InnerText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
You might want to try a GET request first because it's a little simpler (you will only need to POST for wikipedia login). For example, try to simulate this request:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=Main%20Page
Here's the code:
HttpWebRequest myRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=Main%20Page");
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse())
{
string ResponseText;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
ResponseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
Edit: The other problem he was experiencing on the POST request was, The exception is : The remote server returned an error: (417) Expectation failed. It can be solved by setting:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;
(This is from: HTTP POST Returns Error: 417 "Expectation Failed.")
I'm currently in the final stages of implementing an C# MediaWiki API which allows the easy scripting of most MediaWiki viewing and editing actions.
The main API is here: http://o2platform.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/O2%20-%20All%20Active%20Projects/O2_XRules_Database/_Rules/APIs/OwaspAPI.cs and here is an example of the API in use:
var wiki = new O2MediaWikiAPI("http://www.o2platform.com/api.php");
wiki.login(userName, password);
var page = "Test"; // "Main_Page";
wiki.editPage(page,"Test content2");
var rawWikiText = wiki.raw(page);
var htmlText = wiki.html(page);
return rawWikiText.line().line() + htmlText;
You seem to be pushing the input data on HTTP POST, but it seems you should use HTTP GET.
From the MediaWiki API docs:
The API takes its input through
parameters in the query string. Every
module (and every action=query
submodule) has its own set of
parameters, which is listed in the
documentation and in action=help, and
can be retrieved through
action=paraminfo.
