The code to call the API is to make a GET request, we need to place the properties of the httpwebrequest object depending on what we need to develop, in this example what we are going to do is bring data from a "web service" api, through httpwebrequest post c # and httpwebrequest get c # what will do is cast a JArray to go through the object and bring a specific data from the node "company" to later assign it to a variable and save that data in a database of sql server.

How does the httpwebrequest work?

First of all we have to place the service route, it is important that the route is correct so that it does not have errors when doing the authentication, in this route of the service we will show them as add parameter that in this case is the user "username_ " to bring us your specific data of that user as shown in (Example 1.-), we have two examples in which we put the user's parameter in a different way (Example 2.-) it is assigned the parameter in the chain of the Json unlike the previous one that was passed in the service route this depends on the documentation of each service on how it should be consumed, in these two examples we will use the httpwebrequest contenttype with the property application / json since in the two examples we will consume a Json however we put the two examples.

Here's how to use the httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream () control to extract data from the Json string and convert the text string from a Json to a JArray, in (Example 1.-) it is used The StreamReader control will only be used to read the service, authenticating with the requerod token with the httwebrequest credentials control, and parse a JArray to cast the input string to JArray, then the object is traversed with a foreach entering its Json properties and the "company" node is found to extract the required data as shown in the example unlike (Example 2.-) In this we use the control StreamWriter since we write in the service placing the user, password and event type doing the post since this is the way you authenticate yourself and pass the user whose data you need, later with the JsonConvert object. DeserializeObject (number); we enter the Json without casting it as it returns a pure Json and in this way we bring your data as shown in the example.

                    Example 1.- 
                      
                          var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
                            using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                            {
                                //Extraer datos de la cadena Json 
                                var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
                                //Convertir la cadena de texto de un Json a n JArray
                                JArray jsonPreservar = JArray.Parse(result);
                                foreach (JObject jsonOperaciones in jsonPreservar.Children())
                                {
                                    //Aqui para poder identificar las propiedades y sus valores
                                    foreach (JProperty jsonOPropiedades in jsonOperaciones.Properties())
                                    {
                                        //Debes recorrer el arreglo completo, asi puedes obtener todos los valores de las propiedades
                                        string propiedad = jsonOPropiedades.Name;
                                        //Leer Json y sacar valor de un campo
                                        if (propiedad.Equals("empresa"))
                                        {
                                            //Recorrer Json tomando parte de los valores
                                            var val = Convert.ToString(jsonOPropiedades.Value);
                                            dynamic jsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(val);
                                            String Distribuidor = Convert.ToString(jsonObj["Id"].ToString());
                                            return Distribuidor;
                                        }
                                    }
                                }

                                JObject data = JObject.Parse(jsonPreservar[0].ToString());
                                var id = Convert.ToInt32(data["id"]);
                                return "";
                            }
                      
                    

                      Example 2.- 
                      
                        using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
                          {
                              string jsonApi = "{'apiUsername':'corporativo'," +
                              "'apiPassword':'asd333rrg5/$3'," +
                              "'apicallsetinput':[{" +
                              "'_apicall':'read'," +
                              "'event_id':3234," +

                              "}]}";

                              streamWriter.Write(jsonApi);
                              streamWriter.Flush();
                              streamWriter.Close();
                          }

                          var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
                          using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                          {
                              var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
                              dynamic jsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
                              var numero = jsonObj["apicallsetoutput"][0].ToString();
                              dynamic jsonObj_ = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(numero);
                              _apicallresultcode = Convert.ToInt16(jsonObj_["_apicallresultcode"].ToString());

                              if (_apicallresultcode == 1)
                              {
                                  _id = Convert.ToInt32(jsonObj_["id"].ToString());
                              }
                          }
                             
                        
                      

To finish we leave you all the code of the httpwebrequest post c # with all the parameters.

Here we place the complete code of c of the two examples so that you apply the one that best suits your system development, in conclusion we can see in these two examples of the httpwebrequest in c # that in (Example 1.-) it is used the object httpwebrequest authorization header bearer to be able to access the service unlike the (Example 2.-) user and password are used to not use the Headers, another difference is that in the (Example 1.-) the cast is made to the object JArray.Parse (result); to be able to travel the Json, without further ado I leave you to observe the code, I hope you serve these examples.

                      Example 1.-
