Problems Deserialising a nested object array

Here are my models:
public class Order
{
public IEnumerable<LineItem> LineItems { get; set; }
}
public class LineItem
{
[JsonPropertyName("id")]
public int Id { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("product_id")]
public int ProductId { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("variation_id")]
public int VariationId { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("quantity")]
public int Quantity { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("tax_class")]
public string TaxClass { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("subtotal")]
public string Subtotal { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("subtotal_tax")]
public string SubtotalTax { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("total")]
public string Total { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("total_tax")]
public string TotalTax { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("taxes")]
public List<object> Taxes { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("meta_data")]
public List<MetaData> MetaData { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("sku")]
public string Sku { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("price")]
public double Price { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("parent_name")]
public string ParentName { get; set; }
}
As you can see the HttpRequest property contains an array of line items:

I am wondering why when this is deserialized using
public class WooCommerceOrders
{
private HttpRequestService _httpRequestService;
private string _url;
public WooCommerceOrders()
{
_httpRequestService = new HttpRequestService();
_url = "https://kegthat.com/wp-json/wc/v3/orders";
}
public List<Order> GetOrdersJson()
{
var result = _httpRequestService.CallApi(_url).Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return _httpRequestService.DeserializeApiResponseJson<List<Order>>(result.Result);
}
}
The json for line items returns
"lineItems": null,
however some fields such as shipping return
"shipping": {
"firstName": null,
"lastName": null,
"company": "",
"address1": null,
"address2": null,
"city": "redacting city",
"state": "Cheshire",
"postcode": "redacting postcode",
"country": "GB",
"phone": ""
},
This wont let me add too much more code than content
This wont let me add too much more code than content

Why can I not return line items?

Try this using Newtonsoft.Json
using Newtonsoft.Json;
.....
public List<Order> GetOrdersJson()
{
var result = _httpRequestService.CallApi(_url).Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< List<Order>>(result.Result);
}
test to get line_items
var result= GetOrdersJson();
var lineItems=result[0].line_items;

IEnumerable<T> is not a valid type for the serializer. It doesn't define any concrete implementation of a collection for the serializer to parse the JSON into. Use List<T> when deserializing JSON arrays.

public List<Order> GetOrdersJson()
{
var result = _httpRequestService.CallApi(_url).Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return _httpRequestService.DeserializeApiResponseJson<Order>(result.Result);
}
Deserializing List<Order> which is not the Deserializer is expecting.
Try return _httpRequestService.DeserializeApiResponseJson<Order> instead

API Call in C# using JSON

I have an API call using SmartyAddress, here is the result returned from the API call:
[
{
"input_index": 0,
"candidate_index": 0,
"delivery_line_1": "xx",
"last_line": "xx",
"delivery_point_barcode": "xx",
"components": {
"primary_number": "xx",
"street_name": "xx",
"street_suffix": "xx",
"city_name": "xx",
"state_abbreviation": "xx",
"zipcode": "xx",
"plus4_code": "xx",
"delivery_point": "xx",
"delivery_point_check_digit": "xx"
},
"metadata": {
"record_type": "S",
"zip_type": "Standard",
"county_fips": "36047",
"county_name": "Kings",
"carrier_route": "C009",
"congressional_district": "11",
"rdi": "Residential",
"elot_sequence": "0070",
"elot_sort": "A",
"latitude": 40.6223,
"longitude": -74.00717,
"precision": "Zip9",
"time_zone": "Eastern",
"utc_offset": -5,
"dst": true
},
"analysis": {
"dpv_match_code": "Y",
"dpv_footnotes": "AABB",
"dpv_cmra": "N",
"dpv_vacant": "N",
"active": "Y"
}
}
]
Now I would like to use JSON to return this result especially the analysis component, and here is the code I tried to write, but it always gives me the error:cannot deserialize the current json object into type 'system.collections.generic.list and the following is the code:
public void Main()
{
try
{
var results = Client.Lookup(Dts.Variables["User::authID"].Value.ToString(), Dts.Variables["User::ServiceAddress"].Value.ToString(), Dts.Variables["User::ServiceCity"].Value.ToString(), Dts.Variables["User::ServiceState"].Value.ToString(), Dts.Variables["User::ServiceZipCode"].Value.ToString());
if (results == null)
{
throw new Exception("Failed to get DPV for ServiceAddress");
}
else
{
var DPV = results.analysis;
Dts.Variables["User::DPV"].Value = DPV;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Dts.Variables["User::DPV"].Value = "N";
throw ex;
}
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
public class Client
{
public static SmartyStreetsAddressLookup[] Lookup(string authId = null, string street = null, string city = null, string state = null, string zip = null)
{
try
{
using (WebClient web = new WebClient())
{
JsonSerializer serial = new JsonSerializer();
string response = web.DownloadString(new Uri(String.Format(#"https://us-street.api.smartystreets.com/street-address?auth-id={0}&street={1}&city={2}&state={3}&zipcode={4}", authId, street, city, state, zip)));
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SmartyStreetsAddressLookup[]>(response);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
public class SmartyStreetsAddressLookup
{
public String[] metadata { get; set; }
public String[] analysis { get; set; }
}

Based on your exception message and your code the problem is that you are trying to deserialize a complex object from json into 2 string arrays, those 2 are clearly not compatible. You should be using a complex type that matches what you have in your json. To get a head start on this you can try http://json2csharp.com/, enter your json, and then use the output as a starting point for your c# class structure that then matches your json.
The output of your current json in that site is this.
public class Components
{
public string primary_number { get; set; }
public string street_name { get; set; }
public string street_suffix { get; set; }
public string city_name { get; set; }
public string state_abbreviation { get; set; }
public string zipcode { get; set; }
public string plus4_code { get; set; }
public string delivery_point { get; set; }
public string delivery_point_check_digit { get; set; }
}
public class Metadata
{
public string record_type { get; set; }
public string zip_type { get; set; }
public string county_fips { get; set; }
public string county_name { get; set; }
public string carrier_route { get; set; }
public string congressional_district { get; set; }
public string rdi { get; set; }
public string elot_sequence { get; set; }
public string elot_sort { get; set; }
public double latitude { get; set; }
public double longitude { get; set; }
public string precision { get; set; }
public string time_zone { get; set; }
public int utc_offset { get; set; }
public bool dst { get; set; }
}
public class Analysis
{
public string dpv_match_code { get; set; }
public string dpv_footnotes { get; set; }
public string dpv_cmra { get; set; }
public string dpv_vacant { get; set; }
public string active { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int input_index { get; set; }
public int candidate_index { get; set; }
public string delivery_line_1 { get; set; }
public string last_line { get; set; }
public string delivery_point_barcode { get; set; }
public Components components { get; set; }
public Metadata metadata { get; set; }
public Analysis analysis { get; set; }
}
You can then deserialize your json into this structure.
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject[]>(response);

Your SmartyStreetsAddressLookup class is incorrect, and does not accurately match the JSON data. metadata and analysis should not be string arrays, but rather their own objects (classes) with the properties that they contain. Try adding the following to your project:
public class Metadata
{
public string record_type { get; set; }
public string zip_type { get; set; }
public string county_fips { get; set; }
public string county_name { get; set; }
public string carrier_route { get; set; }
public string congressional_district { get; set; }
public string rdi { get; set; }
public string elot_sequence { get; set; }
public string elot_sort { get; set; }
public double latitude { get; set; }
public double longitude { get; set; }
public string precision { get; set; }
public string time_zone { get; set; }
public int utc_offset { get; set; }
public bool dst { get; set; }
}
public class Analysis
{
public string dpv_match_code { get; set; }
public string dpv_footnotes { get; set; }
public string dpv_cmra { get; set; }
public string dpv_vacant { get; set; }
public string active { get; set; }
}
public class Components
{
public string primary_number { get; set; }
public string street_name { get; set; }
public string street_suffix { get; set; }
public string city_name { get; set; }
public string state_abbreviation { get; set; }
public string zipcode { get; set; }
public string plus4_code { get; set; }
public string delivery_point { get; set; }
public string delivery_point_check_digit { get; set; }
}
And change your SmartyStreetsAddressLookup class to the following:
public class SmartyStreetsAddressLookup
{
public int input_index { get; set; }
public int candidate_index { get; set; }
public string delivery_line_1 { get; set; }
public string last_line { get; set; }
public string delivery_point_barcode { get; set; }
public Components components { get; set; }
public Metadata metadata { get; set; }
public Analysis analysis { get; set; }
}

GitLab WebHook post-receive with WebAPI

I am trying to use GitLab webhook 'Push events' to notify users when there are changes in the file.
According to this GitLab help I should receive this as the request body:
{
"object_kind": "push",

"author": {
"name": "GitLab dev user",
"email": "gitlabdev#dv6700.(none)"
}
}
],
"total_commits_count": 4
}
but my WebAPI method is not resolving this request right, the things I tried are
public async Task Post()
public void Post([FromBody] dynamic value)
public void Post([FromBody] PushEvent value) (strongly typed)
none of the above approaches seems to work, however trying this in ruby as shown in example method does work.
So I suppose this is something that have to do with the way I am using the web API. Any thoughts?
My PushEvent Class looks like this:
public class PushEvent
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string homepage { get; set; }
public string git_http_url { get; set; }
public string git_ssh_url { get; set; }
public int visibility_level { get; set; }
public string object_kind { get; set; }
public string before { get; set; }
public string after { get; set; }
public int user_id { get; set; }
public string user_name { get; set; }
public string user_email { get; set; }
public int project_id { get; set; }
public IList<Commit> commits { get; set; }
public int total_commits_count { get; set; }
public class Author
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
}
public class Commit
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public DateTime timestamp { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public Author author { get; set; }
}
}

I' ve met the same question,and my problem was caused by PAI code
the following is my code:
pushEvents:

public class PushEvent

public string object_kind { get; set; }

API :how to get push info from gitlab hooks with .NET

I did find what the problem was, This was due to authentication. Once I allow the method to allow anonmymous, the method was successfully hit.

Get text in string between text in said string

Lets say i have a string that looks like this

The part in channel is gonna appear x amount of times with the "name" part having a different value. How would I, using regex or not get the value in "name" that in the code above has a value of "test_channel". All times that it appears and then print it to a textbox
The only part I think I've managed is the regex part
string regex = #"(""name"":)\s+(\w+)(,""video_banner"")";

Using Json.Net and this site
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Krysvac.RootObject>(yourJsonString);
foreach(var item in obj.follows)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.channel.name);
}
public class Krysvac
{
public class Links
{
public string next { get; set; }
public string self { get; set; }
}
public class Links2
{
public string self { get; set; }
}
public class Links3
{
public string stream_key { get; set; }
public string self { get; set; }
public string videos { get; set; }
public string commercial { get; set; }
public string chat { get; set; }
public string features { get; set; }
}
public class Channel
{
public object banner { get; set; }
public int _id { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public object mature { get; set; }
public List<object> teams { get; set; }
public object status { get; set; }
public object logo { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public object video_banner { get; set; }
public string display_name { get; set; }
public string created_at { get; set; }
public int delay { get; set; }
public object game { get; set; }
public Links3 _links { get; set; }
public string updated_at { get; set; }
public object background { get; set; }
}
public class Follow
{
public string created_at { get; set; }
public Links2 _links { get; set; }
public Channel channel { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Links _links { get; set; }
public List<Follow> follows { get; set; }
}
}
If you don't want to declare these classes, you can use dynamic keyword too
dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(yourJsonString);
foreach(var item in obj.follows)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.channel.name);
}

If you build classes for your input string like the following using json2csharp.com, you'll get the following classes:
public class Links
{
public string next { get; set; }
public string self { get; set; }
}
public class Links2
{
public string self { get; set; }
}
public class Links3
{
public string stream_key { get; set; }
public string self { get; set; }
public string videos { get; set; }
public string commercial { get; set; }
public string chat { get; set; }
public string features { get; set; }
}
public class Channel
{
public object banner { get; set; }
public int _id { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
public object mature { get; set; }
public List<object> teams { get; set; }
public object status { get; set; }
public object logo { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public object video_banner { get; set; }
public string display_name { get; set; }
public string created_at { get; set; }
public int delay { get; set; }
public object game { get; set; }
public Links3 _links { get; set; }
public string updated_at { get; set; }
public object background { get; set; }
}
public class Follow
{
public string created_at { get; set; }
public Links2 _links { get; set; }
public Channel channel { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public Links _links { get; set; }
public List<Follow> follows { get; set; }
}
Now you just have to deserialize the input json string to RootObject class and fetch all the names in the input string using another utility called Json.net
string json = "JSON STRING";
RootObject root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
List<string> names = root.follows.Select(follow => follow.channel.name).ToList();
foreach ( string name in names )
{
txtBox += name + "; ";
}

Ok, so i got it working now, however, if i use my username to get back json, i get a huge piece of code that you can view here: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/krysvac/follows/channels
I folllow 31 people but when i use my program on it with the code
using (var w = new WebClient())
{
string json_data = w.DownloadString("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/" + input + "/follows/channels");
dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json_data);
foreach (var item in obj.follows)
{
textBox1.AppendText(item.channel.name.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
}
}
i get 25 out of my 31 people back in the textbox and i dont know why, i tried it on a person that should return more than 100 and got 6 people back.

Json decoding not decoding into complex object

So I have a set of classes:
public class CallQueueRequest
{
public string ACK { get; set; }
public string ERROR { get; set; }
public Agent AGENT { get; set; }
public Skill SKILL { get; set; }
public string TIME { get; set; }
}
public class Agent
{
public string has_result { get; set; }
public List<Agents> agents { get; set; }
}
public class Agents
{
public string display_name { get; set; }
public string time_in_state { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string callstakentoday { get; set; }
public string avaya_skill_num { get; set; }
}
public class Skill
{
public string has_result { get; set; }
public string num_skills { get; set; }
public List<Skills> skills { get; set; }
}
public class Skills
{
public string display_name { get; set; }
public string avaya_skill_num { get; set; }
public string callsinqueue { get; set; }
public string callstoday { get; set; }
public string abantoday { get; set; }
public string lwt { get; set; }
public string ewt { get; set; }
public string servicelvl { get; set; }
public string avgspeedans { get; set; }
public string talktime { get; set; }
}
And I have this Json:
{
"ACK":"SUCCESS",
"ERROR":null,
"AGENT":{
"has_results":1,
"agents":[
{
"display_name":"John Doe",
"time_in_state":"378",
"state":"Acd",
"callstakentoday":null,
"avaya_skill_num":"81"
},
{
"display_name":"Jane Joe",
"time_in_state":"220",
"state":"Acd",
"callstakentoday":null,
"avaya_skill_num":"81"
}
]
},
"SKILL":{
"has_results":1,
"num_skills":1,
"skills":[
{
"display_name":"QueueName",
"avaya_skill_num":"81",
"callsinqueue":"1",
"callstoday":"29",
"abandtoday":"1",
"lwt":"74",
"ewt":"223",
"servicelvl":"86",
"avgspeedans":"35",
"talktime":"873"
}
]
},
"TIME":1355864270
}
I am using this code:
object qr = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);
This does not seem to be converting from Json to the complex class properly. Can someone assist me with this? I think its just a small mistake.

I was able to find some info on what I'm trying to do. If anyone finds this question, here is the answer
