Hello,
I am trying to call an API which returns the data in JSON format which i need to parse. How to do that in System.Net.Webrequest..
Below is my code

C#

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);
           
            request = WebRequest.Create("https://IPAaddress/api/admin/configuration/v1/conference/1/");
             
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
            // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
            request.Method = "GET";          
           
                    // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";          
   

            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            // Display the status.
            Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
            // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
            dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
            // Read the content.
            string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
            
            // Display the content.
            Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
            // Clean up the streams.
            reader.Close();
            dataStream.Close();
            response.Close();

Thanks in advance

What I have tried:

C#

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);
           
            request = WebRequest.Create("https://IPAaddress/api/admin/configuration/v1/conference/1/");
             
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
            // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
            request.Method = "GET";          
           
                    // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";          
   

            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            // Display the status.
            Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
            // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
            dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
            // Read the content.
            string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
            
            // Display the content.
            Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
            // Clean up the streams.
            reader.Close();
            dataStream.Close();
            response.Close();

Create a model and the parse the json object to that model using newtonsoft.json or System.Web.Script.Serialization.

for example:
Model

C#

public class MyModel
  {
      public string user_id { get; set; }
      public string name { get; set; }
      public string given_name { get; set; }
      public string email { get; set; }    
  }

and your response

C#

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
           // Display the status.
           Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
           // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
           dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
           // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
           StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
           // Read the content.
           string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// im using javascriptserializer from the System.Web.Script.Serialization namespace
          JavaScriptSerializer j = new JavaScriptSerializer();
          MyModel model= j.Deserialize<MyModel>(responseFromServer .Content);

Hope this helps..
