Call WEB API service using .Net code

This is a simple example calling Web API service from your .net application. Here i am following C# code.

We can achieve API service calling using WebClient.

Step 1

Refer System.Net.WebClient.dll in your project

Step2 - Source code

using System.Net;

public Class WebAPIHelper{

       public string callService() {

             WebClient client = new WebClient();

             client.Headers.Add("Content-type", "application/JSON");

              client.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

              //If your API and application is running in same IIS server use below credential otherwise

               //you have to set proper credential

              client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

              string url = "https://url API url";

              string data = client.DownloadString(url);

              return data;

      }
