how to add body in post request c# [duplicate]

How to post JSON to a server using C#?
(15 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
i, tried putting body in request but didn't actually worked,
in body i want to put which is in json format {"ClaimNo":"123123"}
i have used this as code:
string ClaimStatus_url = "https:xyz";
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(ClaimStatus_url);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "POST";
//request.Headers = "";// i used this for puting body in it but did not work
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();

using System.Text;
using System.Text.Json;
namespace TestPostData;
public class Data
{
public int ClaimNo { get; set; }
}
public static class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var postData = new Data
{
ClaimNo = 123123,
};
var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
var content = new StringContent(JsonSerializer.Serialize(postData), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = client.PostAsync("https:xyz", content).Result;
}
}
That is an example of using HttpClient class that is now recommended to use instead WebRequest.

Try this, i hope it will work.
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com/recepticle.aspx");
var postData = "thing1=" + Uri.EscapeDataString("hello");
postData += "&thing2=" + Uri.EscapeDataString("world");
var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = data.Length;
using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();

I would start off by using RestSharp.
dotnet add package RestSharp
Then I would create a DTOS object with the contents that you want to send in the json:
public class DtosObject
{
public string ClaimNo {get; set;}
}
Then pass that in as the object (I would call the class something relevant to the data it contains). If you only are using ClaimNo you could also use a KeyValuePair like this:
var body = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("ClaimNo", "123123");
Then you can send requests like this:
public async Task<IRestResult> PostAsync(string url, object body)
{
var client = new RestClient(url);
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.Post);
request.AddJsonBody(body);
var response = await client.ExecuteAsync(request);
return response;
}

string ClaimStatus_url = "https://qms.xyz.in/FGClaimWsAPI/api/Common/FetchClaimdetails";
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ClaimStatus_url);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"ClaimNo\":\""+ userProfile.ClaimNumber +"\"}";
//string json = "{\"ClaimNo\":\"CV010831\"}";
//await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text(json, json), cancellationToken);
streamWriter.Write(json);
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
var result1 = "" ;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
result1 = result.Substring(1, result.Length -2); // to bring response result in proper format
}
_claimstaus = GenrateJSON_Claim(result1);
This upper code worked

HttpWebRequest.getResponse() returning NULL

I am attempting to create a console app that sends a WebRequest to a website so that I can get some information back from it in JSON format. Once I build up the request and try to get response I just want to simply print out the data, but when I call httpWebRequest.getResponse() it returns NULL.
I have tried multiple other methods of sending the data to the the url but those are all giving me like 404, or 400 errors, etc. This method at least isn't giving me any error, just a NULL.
Here is a snapshot of the documentation I am using for the API (albeit the docs aren't complete yet):
Here is the console app code that I have right now:
try
{
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api.remot3.it/apv/v27/user/login");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("developerkey", "***KEY***");
using (var streamWriter = new
StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new
{
email = "***EMAIL***",
password = "***PASSWORD***"
});
Console.WriteLine(json);
streamWriter.Write(json);
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(result);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
Console.ReadLine();
}
Expected output is some JSON data, but I am getting a NULL back from getResponse().

Try to serialize the credential in your form and for header send as parameter for this class.
Check below for my code. It is not 100 % fit to your requirement, but atleast it will help to get through your logic.
Here is what I get Json Response from this code. Its work Perfect. Please remember to add timeout option on your webrequest and at the end close the streamreader and stream after completing your task. please check this code.
public static string httpPost(string url, string json)
{
string content = "";
byte[] bs;
if (json != null && json != string.Empty)
{
bs = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
}
else
{
bs = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(url);
}
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "POST";
if (json != string.Empty)
req.ContentType = "application/json";
else
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.KeepAlive = false;
req.Timeout = 30000;
req.ReadWriteTimeout = 30000;
//req.UserAgent = "test.net";
req.Accept = "application/json";
req.ContentLength = bs.Length;
using (Stream reqStream = req.GetRequestStream())
{
reqStream.Write(bs, 0, bs.Length);
reqStream.Flush();
reqStream.Close();
}
using (WebResponse wr = req.GetResponse())
{
Stream s = wr.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(s, Encoding.UTF8);
content = reader.ReadToEnd();
wr.Close();
s.Close();
reader.Close();
}
return content;
}

Request uri too long with webservice

I want to do a create via a webservice which needs a uri like this:
http://<url>/webservice.php?operation=<operation>&elementType=<elementType>&element=<element>&
my problem is, element is all information of an email with html body, which is about 6000 characters.
I want to call the url like this:
var request = WebRequest.Create(urlToUse.ToString());
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = urlToUse.Length;
var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
var requestStreamWriter = new StreamWriter(requestStream);
requestStreamWriter.Write(urlToUse);
requestStreamWriter.Close();
var response = request.GetResponse();
var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
if (responseStream == null) return null;
var responseStreamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
var responseFromServer = responseStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
responseStreamReader.Close();
responseStream.Close();
response.Close();
but it breaks at
var response = request.GetResponse();
and says the uri is too long.
I can't change the server's max length of the url and the webservice needs the parameters in the url.
I haven't found a suitable solution for me yet so any help is appreciated.Update:
For anyone facing the same issue, the solution that worked for me was to put my query into an byte-Array like
var encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = enconding.GetBytes((queryString));
and writing that into the webrequest instead of my queryString
var stream = request.GetRequestStream();
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

You can put data in the body of the request with something a little like this:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://<url>/webservice.php");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var jsonContent = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new YourObject
{
// Pseudo code... Replace <...> with your values etc
Operation = <YourOperation>,
ElementType = <YourElementType>,
Element = <YourElement>,
// etc...
});
HttpResponseMessage response;
using (HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(jsonContent, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"))
{
response = await client.PostAsync("youroperation/", httpContent);
}
// Do something with response if you want
}
This is JSON based but could be anything you want to pass... This is a simple example that will hopefully give you an idea of how you can proceed.

You need to split the urlToUse at the question mark:
Something like this (not tested)
string[] parts = urlToUse.ToString().Split(new char[]{'?'}, 2);
string url = parts[0];
string data = parts[1];
var request = WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = data.Length;
var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
var requestStreamWriter = new StreamWriter(requestStream);
requestStreamWriter.Write(data);
requestStreamWriter.Close();
var response = request.GetResponse();
var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
if (responseStream == null) return null;
var responseStreamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
var responseFromServer = responseStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
responseStreamReader.Close();
responseStream.Close();
response.Close();
Good luck with your quest.

Problems with HttpRequest in c# for windows phone 8.1

I want to obtain a string response of this:
public async Task<string> CheckConnection(){
//Declarations of Variables
string result = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.ContinueTimeout = 4000;
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
//Add headers to request
request.Headers["Type"] = "CHECK";
request.Headers["Device"] = "1";
request.Headers["Version"] = "0.000";
request.Headers["Os"] = "WindowsPhone";
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)await request.GetResponseAsync();
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
//To obtain response body
Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse, Encoding.UTF8);
result = streamRead.ReadToEnd();
streamRead.Dispose();
}
return result;
}
public async Task<string> SizeFit()
{
//Declarations of Variables
string result = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
//Add headers to request
request.Headers["Type"] = "SIZEFIT";
request.Headers["Device"] = "1";
request.Headers["Version"] = "0.000";
request.Headers["Os"] = "WindowsPhone";
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)await request.GetResponseAsync();
if (response.StatusCode != null)
{
//To obtain response body
Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse, Encoding.UTF8);
result = streamRead.ReadToEnd();
streamRead.Dispose();
}
return result;
}
When I use this general function for obtain 1 for true connect and Size, but always return 1 as syze when my zip have 4k of size...
public async Task<string> doSync()
{
//Declaration of variables
string response = await CheckConnection();
//When is 1, the checkConnection will connect then request Size of zip!
if (response == "1")
{
response = await SizeFit();
}
return response;
}
Any one can help me? Thanks in advance.

Solved! Just add:
request.Headers["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache";
request.Headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache";
This is for windows phone cache problems with httpwebrequest!

Google Api get token request returns invalid_request

I'm trying to get Google APi's access_token using c# and always getting error message invalid_request. There is my code:
var Params = new Dictionary<string, string>();
Params["client_id"] = GoogleApplicationAPI.CLIENT_ID;
Params["client_secret"] = GoogleApplicationAPI.CLIENT_SECRET;
Params["code"] = "4/08Z_Us0a_blkMlXihlixR1579TYu.smV5ucbI8U4VOl05ti8ZT3ZD4CgMcgI";
Params["redirect_uri"] = GoogleApplicationAPI.RETURN_URL;
Params["grant_type"] = "authorization_code";
var RequestData = "";
foreach (var Item in Params)
{
RequestData += Item.Key + "=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Item.Value) + "&";
}
string Url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
var request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(Url);
request.Method = HttpMethod.Post.ToString();
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
var SendData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(RequestData);
try
{
request.ContentLength = SendData.Length;
Stream OutputStream = request.GetRequestStream();
OutputStream.Write(SendData, 0, SendData.Length);
} catch {}
try
{
using (var response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse())
{
var stream = response.GetResponseStream();
var sr = new StreamReader(stream);
string JSON = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
} catch {}
I use https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#offline

Try removing the call to HttpUtility.UrlEncode on each item in the request data. You shouldn't need to do this as the data is not going into the url it's being POSTed. This is no doubt diluting the information being sent which is resulting in your Invalid Request response.
