这是我到目前为止的代码:

    public class Class1
    {
        private const string URL = "https://sub.domain.com/objects.json?api_key=123";
        private const string DATA = @"{""object"":{""name"":""Name""}}";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Class1.CreateObject();
        }

        private static void CreateObject()
        {
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
            request.Method = "POST";
            request.ContentType = "application/json";
            request.ContentLength = DATA.Length;
            StreamWriter requestWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
            requestWriter.Write(DATA);
            requestWriter.Close();

             try {
                WebResponse webResponse = request.GetResponse();
                Stream webStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
                StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(webStream);
                string response = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
                Console.Out.WriteLine(response);
                responseReader.Close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Console.Out.WriteLine("-----------------");
                Console.Out.WriteLine(e.Message);
            }

        }
    }

问题是我认为异常块正在被触发(因为当我删除try-catch时,我得到一个服务器错误(500)消息。但是我没有看到控制台。我在catch block里放了几行。

当前回答

由于您使用的是Visual Studio 11 Beta,您将希望使用最新的和最好的。新的Web API包含了这方面的类。

参见HttpClient: http://wcf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WCF%20HTTP

其他回答

ASP。NET Web API已经取代了前面提到的WCF Web API。

我想我应该发布一个更新的答案,因为这些回答大部分来自2012年初,当在谷歌上搜索“调用基于rest的服务c#”时,这个帖子是排名靠前的结果之一。

目前微软的指导方针是使用微软ASP。NET Web API客户端库来使用RESTful服务。这是一个NuGet包,Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client。您需要将这个NuGet包添加到您的解决方案中。

下面是使用ASP实现示例时的外观。NET Web API客户端库:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;

namespace ConsoleProgram
{
    public class DataObject
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    public class Class1
    {
        private const string URL = "https://sub.domain.com/objects.json";
        private string urlParameters = "?api_key=123";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);

            // Add an Accept header for JSON format.
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
            new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            // List data response.
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result;  // Blocking call! Program will wait here until a response is received or a timeout occurs.
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                // Parse the response body.
                var dataObjects = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<DataObject>>().Result;  //Make sure to add a reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll
                foreach (var d in dataObjects)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", d.Name);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", (int)response.StatusCode, response.ReasonPhrase);
            }

            // Make any other calls using HttpClient here.

            // Dispose once all HttpClient calls are complete. This is not necessary if the containing object will be disposed of; for example in this case the HttpClient instance will be disposed automatically when the application terminates so the following call is superfluous.
            client.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

如果您计划发出多个请求,您应该重用HttpClient实例。请参阅这个问题及其答案,以了解为什么在这种情况下没有在HttpClient实例上使用using语句的更多细节:HttpClient和HttpClientHandler必须在请求之间被处理吗?

有关更多细节,包括其他示例,请参见从。net客户端调用Web API (c#)

这篇博客文章也可能有用:使用HttpClient消费ASP。NET Web API REST服务

我的建议是使用RestSharp。您可以调用REST服务,并将它们转换为POCO对象,只需要很少的样板代码就可以解析响应。这不会解决您的特定错误,但它回答了如何调用REST服务的总体问题。必须更改代码才能使用它,这应该会在易用性和健壮性方面得到回报。不过这只是我的个人观点。

例子:

namespace RestSharpThingy

    using System;

            IRestClient client = new RestClient(baseUrl);
            IRestRequest request = new RestRequest("get", Method.GET) { Credentials = new NetworkCredential("testUser", "P455w0rd") };

            request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer qaPmk9Vw8o7r7UOiX-3b-8Z_6r3w0Iu2pecwJ3x7CngjPp2fN3c61Q_5VU3y0rc-vPpkTKuaOI2eRs3bMyA5ucKKzY1thMFoM0wjnReEYeMGyq3JfZ-OIko1if3NmIj79ZSpNotLL2734ts2jGBjw8-uUgKet7jQAaq-qf5aIDwzUo0bnGosEj_UkFxiJKXPPlF2L4iNJSlBqRYrhw08RK1SzB4tf18Airb80WVy1Kewx2NGq5zCC-SCzvJW-mlOtjIDBAQ5intqaRkwRaSyjJ_MagxJF_CLc4BNUYC3hC2ejQDoTE6HYMWMcg0mbyWghMFpOw3gqyfAGjr6LPJcIly__aJ5__iyt-BTkOnMpDAZLTjzx4qDHMPWeND-TlzKWXjVb5yMv5Q6Jg6UmETWbuxyTdvGTJFzanUg1HWzPr7gSs6GLEv9VDTMiC8a5sNcGyLcHBIJo8mErrZrIssHvbT8ZUPWtyJaujKvdgazqsrad9CO3iRsZWQJ3lpvdQwucCsyjoRVoj_mXYhz3JK3wfOjLff16Gy1NLbj4gmOhBBRb8rJnUXnP7rBHs00FAk59BIpKLIPIyMgYBApDCut8V55AgXtGs4MgFFiJKbuaKxq8cdMYEVBTzDJ-S1IR5d6eiTGusD5aFlUkAs9NV_nFw");

我们已经开始使用地下酒吧了。这很棒:

https://github.com/jonnii/SpeakEasy

// create a client
var client = HttpClient.Create("http://example.com/api");
    
// get some companies!
var companies = client.Get("companies").OnOk().As<List<Company>>();
  
// upload a company, with validation error support
client.Post(company, "companies")
    .On(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, (List<ValidationError> errors) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Ruh Roh, you have {0} validation errors", errors.Count());
    })
    .On(HttpStatusCode.Created, () => Console.WriteLine("Holy moly you win!"));
    
// update a company
client.Put(company, "company/:id", new { id = "awesome-sauce" })
    .OnOk(() => Console.WriteLine("Company updated"));
        
// run a search
client.Get("images/:category", new { category = "cats", breed = "omg the cutest", size = "kittens" })
    .OnOk().As<List<Image>>();
    
// make an asynchronous request
var response = await client.GetAsync("companies/:id", new { id = 5 })
response.OnOk(UpdateCompaniesCallback)

查看Refit从. net调用REST服务。我发现它很容易使用:

改装:自动类型安全的REST库。net Core, Xamarin和 net Refit是一个很大程度上受到Square的Retrofit库启发的库 它把你的REST API变成一个活动接口:

public interface IGitHubApi {
        [Get("/users/{user}")]
        Task<User> GetUser(string user);
}

// The RestService class generates an implementation of IGitHubApi
// that uses HttpClient to make its calls:

var gitHubApi = RestService.For<IGitHubApi>("https://api.github.com");

var octocat = await gitHubApi.GetUser("octocat");

以下是在c#中调用外部API的几种不同方式(2019年更新)。

.NET的内置方式:

webrequest和WebClient——冗长的api和微软的文档不是很容易理解 HttpClient - . net的最新产品&使用起来比上面提到的简单多了。

免费、开源的NuGet包,坦率地说,它比。net内置客户端有更好的开发体验:

ServiceStack。文本(1000个GitHub星,700万NuGet下载)(*)-快速,轻便和弹性。 RestSharp(6000个GitHub星,2300万NuGet下载)(*)-简单的REST和HTTP API客户端 Flurl (1700 GitHub星,300万NuGet下载)(*)-一个流畅,可移植,可测试的HTTP客户端库

上面所有的包都提供了很棒的开发体验(即简洁、简单的API),并且维护得很好。

(*)截至2019年8月

示例:使用servicstack . text从伪Rest API获取Todo项。 其他库具有非常相似的语法。

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Fake rest API
        string url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";

        // GET data from API & map to POCO
        var todo =  url.GetJsonFromUrl().FromJson<Todo>();

        // Print the result to screen
        todo.PrintDump();
    }

    public class Todo
    {
        public int UserId { get; set; }
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public bool Completed { get; set; }
    }

}

在. net核心控制台应用程序中运行上述示例,产生以下输出。

使用NuGet安装这些包

Install-Package ServiceStack.Text, or

Install-Package RestSharp, or

Install-Package Flurl.Http
