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

HTTP GET请求

    string api = this.configuration["getApiUrl"];//Read from Iconfiguration object injected
     public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetAsync(string api, ILogger log, params dynamic[] parameters)
            {
                log.LogInformation($"Get Token");
                var token = await GetTokenAsync(this.configuration["ClientId"], this.configuration["AppKey"]).ConfigureAwait(false);
                using (var client = new HttpClient())
                {
                  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(BearerTokenName, token);
                    var apiBaseUrl = this.configuration["BaseUrl"];
                   
                    client.BaseAddress = new Uri(apiBaseUrl);
                    var apiUrl = ConstructUrl(api, parameters);
                    var result = await client.GetAsync(apiUrl).ConfigureAwait(false);
    
                    if (result.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    {
                        return result;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                       throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(result.StatusCode) { Content = new StringContent(result.ReasonPhrase) });
                    }
                }
            }
    

从HttpResponseMessage读取字符串，如下所示

     var client = await this.httpClientService.GetAsync(url, logger, Convert.ToInt32(Id, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)).ConfigureAwait(false);
     var response = await client.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

HTTP POST请求

     public async Task<string> PostAsync(string api, string contentValue, ILogger logger)
           {
               var token = await GetTokenAsync(this.configuration["ClientId"], this.configuration["AppKey"]).ConfigureAwait(false);
   
               using (var client = new HttpClient())
               {
                   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(BearerTokenName, token);
                   client.BaseAddress = new Uri(resource);
                   var content = new StringContent(contentValue, Encoding.UTF8, MediaTypeNames.Application.Json);
                   var result = await client.PostAsync(new Uri(api, UriKind.Relative), content).ConfigureAwait(false);
   
                   if (result.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
                   {
                       return await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                   }
                   else
                   {
                       throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(result.StatusCode) { Content = new StringContent(result.ReasonPhrase) });
                   }
               }
           }

    var response = await this.httpClientService.PostAsync(this.configuration["getDetails"], content, this.configuration["ApiBaseUrl"], logger).ConfigureAwait(false);
      catch (System.Web.Http.HttpResponseException httpException)
                        {
                            if (httpException.Response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
                            {
                                logger.LogError($"Failed To Update", httpException);
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                throw;
                            }
                        }
    return response;

    var TakingRequset = WebRequest.Create("http://xxx.acv.com/MethodName/Get");
    TakingRequset.Method = "POST";
    TakingRequset.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=utf-8";
    TakingRequset.PreAuthenticate = true;

    //---Serving Request path query
     var PAQ = TakingRequset.RequestUri.PathAndQuery;

    //---creating your xml as per the host reqirement
    string xmlroot=@"<root><childnodes>passing parameters</childnodes></root>";
    string xmlroot2=@"<root><childnodes>passing parameters</childnodes></root>";

    //---Adding Headers as requested by host 
    xmlroot2 = (xmlroot2 + "XXX---");
    //---Adding Headers Value as requested by host 
  //  var RequestheaderVales = Method(xmlroot2);

    WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("XXXXX-----llll", 8080);
    proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("XXX---uuuu", "XXX----", "XXXX----");
    System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = proxy;


    // Adding The Request into Headers
    TakingRequset.Headers.Add("xxx", "Any Request Variable ");
    TakingRequset.Headers.Add("xxx", "Any Request Variable");

    byte[] byteData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlroot);
    TakingRequset.ContentLength = byteData.Length;

    using (Stream postStream = TakingRequset.GetRequestStream())
    {
        postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length);
        postStream.Close();
    }



    StreamReader stredr = new StreamReader(TakingRequset.GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
    string response = stredr.ReadToEnd();

这是可以肯定工作的示例代码。我花了一天的时间来从REST服务中读取一组对象:

RootObject是我从REST服务中读取的对象类型。

string url = @"http://restcountries.eu/rest/v1";
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(IEnumerable<RootObject>));
WebClient syncClient = new WebClient();
string content = syncClient.DownloadString(url);

using (MemoryStream memo = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(content)))
{
    IEnumerable<RootObject> countries = (IEnumerable<RootObject>)serializer.ReadObject(memo);
}

Console.Read();

第一步是为HTTP客户机创建helper类。

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace callApi.Helpers
{
    public class CallApi
    {
        private readonly Uri BaseUrlUri;
        private HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

        public CallApi(string baseUrl)
        {
            BaseUrlUri = new Uri(baseUrl);
            client.BaseAddress = BaseUrlUri;
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
                new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
        }

        public HttpClient getClient()
        {
            return client;
        }

        public HttpClient getClientWithBearer(string token)
        {
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
            return client;
        }
    }
}

然后可以在代码中使用这个类。

这是如何使用上面的类调用不带承载的REST API的示例。

// GET API/values
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult<string>> postNoBearerAsync(string email, string password,string baseUrl, string action)
{
    var request = new LoginRequest
    {
        email = email,
        password = password
    };

    var callApi = new CallApi(baseUrl);
    var client = callApi.getClient();
    HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(action, request);
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        return Ok(await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<string>());
    else
        return NotFound();
}

这是一个如何调用需要承载的REST API的示例。

// GET API/values
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult<string>> getUseBearerAsync(string token, string baseUrl, string action)
{
    var callApi = new CallApi(baseUrl);
    var client = callApi.getClient();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
    HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(action);
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        return Ok(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
    }
    else
        return NotFound();
}

如果您想查看它如何工作的工作示例，还可以参考下面的存储库。

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:

            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");
