I am trying to call an API which returns the data in JSON format which i need to parse. How to do that in System.Net.Webrequest.. Below is my code
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);
request = WebRequest.Create("https://IPAaddress/api/admin/configuration/v1/conference/1/");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
// Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
request.Method = "GET";
// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
// Display the status.
Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Display the content.
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
// Clean up the streams.
reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();
Webrequest just returns a response from a remote resource. You need to parse the JSON yourself, like using the DataContractJsonSerializer, or Json.Net (http://www.newtonsoft.com/json)
