// 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";

    using(Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream()) {
        dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
    }

    long length = 0;
    try {
        using(HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {
            // Got response
            length = response.ContentLength;

            // Log errorText
        }
        throw;
    }
}

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

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;

在使用。net 4.5或。net Core时调用REST API

我推荐DalSoft。RestClient(注意:是我创建的)。原因是，因为它使用动态类型，您可以在一个流畅的调用中包装所有内容，包括序列化/反序列化。下面是一个工作的PUT示例:

dynamic client = new RestClient("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com");

var post = new Post { title = "foo", body = "bar", userId = 10 };

var result = await client.Posts(1).Put(post);

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)

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

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");
