HttpClient is how you call APIsusing System.Net.Http.Headers;
var client = new HttpClient();
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
Method = HttpMethod.Get,
RequestUri = new Uri("https://yahoo-finance127.p.rapidapi.com/price/meta"),
Headers =
{
{ "X-RapidAPI-Key", "xxx" },
{ "X-RapidAPI-Host", xxx" },
},
};
using (var response = await client.SendAsync(request))
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(body);
}
i know it generated me this
but where i can get the json format
Instead of
ReadAsStringAsync() use ReadAsJsonAsync<T>()
Where T is a class to deserialize the JSON response toi will get smth like this
"latitude": 52.52,
"longitude": 13.419,
"elevation": 44.812,
"generationtime_ms": 2.2119,
"utc_offset_seconds": 0,
"timezone": "Europe/Berlin",
"timezone_abbreviation": "CEST",
"hourly": {
"time": ["2022-07-01T00:00", "2022-07-01T01:00", "2022-07-01T02:00", ...],
"temperature_2m": [13, 12.7, 12.7, 12.5, 12.5, 12.8, 13, 12.9, 13.3, ...]
},
"hourly_units": {
"temperature_2m": "°C"
}
?
I need this, then i will convert it into c#
If that's that the API returns, then yes, that's what you'll get
You can use that to generate the classes to deserialize into
