// POST a JSON string
void POST(string url, string jsonContent) {
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    request.Method = "POST";

    System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
    Byte[]byteArray = encoding.GetBytes(jsonContent);

    request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
    request.ContentType =  @ "application/json";

注意:为了序列化和反序列化JSON，我使用了Newtonsoft。Json NuGet包。

请使用以下代码进行REST API请求:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;
using System.Json;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        private const string URL = "https://XXXX/rest/api/2/component";
        private const string DATA = @"{
            ""name"": ""Component 2"",
            ""description"": ""This is a JIRA component"",
            ""leadUserName"": ""xx"",
            ""assigneeType"": ""PROJECT_LEAD"",
            ""isAssigneeTypeValid"": false,
            ""project"": ""TP""}";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            AddComponent();
        }

        private static void AddComponent()
        {
            System.Net.Http.HttpClient client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(URL);
            byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("username:password");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            System.Net.Http.HttpContent content = new StringContent(DATA, UTF8Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            HttpResponseMessage messge = client.PostAsync(URL, content).Result;
            string description = string.Empty;
            if (messge.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                string result = messge.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                description = result;
            }
        }
    }
}

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

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;

我使用Web API 2.0以这种简单的方式做到了这一点。您可以删除UseDefaultCredentials。我在自己的用例中使用了它。

List<YourObject> listObjects = new List<YourObject>();

string response = "";
using (var client = new WebClient() { UseDefaultCredentials = true })
{
     response = client.DownloadString(apiUrl);
}

listObjects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<YourObject>>(response);
return listObjects;

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();
}
