The reason I ask this is ,because it seems a lot of API's are not supporters of the .NET Framework. I rarely see popular websites supporting .NET applications for C# or vb.net it makes me sad. I started with C#/Vb.net and I can make winform Applications , webforms applications and other types of .NET projects. Ican use DLL's ,but I cannot seem to find any youtube videos or online resources delaing with REST and to consume in C# that are current as in 2017. All(API's C# examples with websites) seem to be older versions that are no longer supported by the websites.

I just need some guidance on getting me to practice with a popular and useful website with API's. I can use Windows API and other web APIS ,but I would like to use Facebook API without encountering erros from examples ,because the version of API and coding them are not supported anymore.

Thanks

What I have tried:

Youtube examples and online resources. :|

Every website is different there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, but there are loads of examples of using REST with c#. The thing people often forget is that a web API is a global standard, people focus too much on "how do I access This Site with c#, give me examples" and you're not going to find examples for all but the most popular of sites. Instead learn how to access *any* API of that type, be it REST, SOAP, whatever, using whatever client objects are most appropriate. If you understand the basics you can then use any site's API.

The answer is yes - JSON can be consumed in C# (http://www.newtonsoft.com/json - very powerful)... For more specifics you have to be more specific...
