If it has an API then you can use it in C#

https://api.hypixel.net/skyblock/bazaar I think i wrote the link wrong It is correct

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);

this is the gist of it looks correct So as a quick mockup

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetFromJsonAsync<RootResponse>("https://api.hypixel.net/skyblock/bazaar");

record RootResponse(bool Success, DateTime LastUpdated, Dictionary<string, Product> Products);
record Product(string ProductId, SellSummary SellSummary);
record SellSummary(int Amount, float PricePerUnit);
// etc.

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetFromJsonAsync<RootResponse>("https://api.hypixel.net/skyblock/bazaar");

record RootResponse(bool Success, DateTime LastUpdated, Dictionary<string, Product> Products);
record Product(string ProductId, SellSummary SellSummary);
record SellSummary(int Amount, float PricePerUnit);
// etc.

That looks so complex to me 0-0

It's really not You create an HttpClient and wait for it to respond to your url. The rest just defines the structure of the data you're expecting to get back. The article I sent covers how to do this

class Program

    public static void Main()
    {
        SEEDS.seeds();
    }
}

is my code and im getting 'SEEDS.seeds()' is inaccessible due to its protection level what should i do

Pixel•15mo ago

make it public

Thinker•15mo ago

Use HttpClient, not WebClient

Elmishh•15mo ago

how would i do that

Thinker•15mo ago

Like I showed above

Elmishh•15mo ago

my friend gave me the api part of the code

Thinker•15mo ago

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);

HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);

And since your JSON has a well-defined structure, there is no reason to use JObject here, you can just turn the JSON into regular objects. You can use $jsongen to generate classes from your JSON which you can then deserialize the string into.

also yes you need to make Seeds public

Elmishh•15mo ago
