The WebClient class provides common methods for sending data to or receiving data from any local, intranet, or Internet resource identified by a URI.
The WebClient class uses the WebRequest class to provide access to resources. WebClient instances can access data with any WebRequest descendant registered with the WebRequest.RegisterPrefix method.
DownloadString Downloads a String from a resource and returns a String.
If your request requires an optional header, you must add the header to the Headers collection
Example
In the below example we are calling the url "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
The example is then deserialized to User array
From the user array we are printing the first array value
Example
class Program{
static void Main(string[] args){
var client = new WebClient();
var json = client.DownloadString("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");
var userPosts = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<User[]>(json);
System.Console.WriteLine(userPosts[0].title);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class User{
public string userId { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public string title { get; set; }
public string body { get; set; }
}Output
