I have a rest API, returns JSON response.
I have to call this rest API from web application.

it's quite easy to develop
But, I want the simplest way to call this rest url.


Url :
billing/customerDetails/{Cid}/billarrangement/{aId}/bill/{bId}/getbillSummary


Method: GET

example URL :
billing/customerDetails/52145879/billarrangement/1234569/bill/9879/getbillSummary?uan=5214789635


What I have tried:

string reqUrl = string.Format("billing/customerDetails/{0}/billarrangement/{1}/bill/{2}getbillSummary?uan={3}", cID, aNo, bId, UAN);

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "GET";
req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
req.Accept = "text/json";

using (HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse())
{
      if (resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
      {
        // my code
      }
}


I want to know if this one is simplest.
Or if anything wrong, please correct me.
If its not simplest, please help me with that.

There's nothing wrong with your code if you want to keep it. There are some third-party libraries you could look at that might make things a little simpler.

RestSharp - Simple REST and HTTP Client for .NET[^]

I would agree to use RestSharp. It's a good library to use!
