I admire such an explanation, to the core exactly what is needed in plain english. Extemely clear and valuable explanation, all the words from you when you explain are very important.
Thanks a lot, I've been trying to work with Api's for a while now. But I have never understand every step of the process. This is the first time I've found an explanation for each Expression and Statement.
@@nickproudprogrammer To give as much insight as I can to help from my noob self the step by step helps a lot, other videos out there gloss over too much because they know it so they think "I don't need to talk about it". I know a lot programing tends to be very abstract but the more visual the better just like most learn video games by pushing buttons and seeing what they do. I know this might be hard but info is power and thank you again :)
So Nick l am gratefull to you for this video man and please don't stop .l know you just get a little money from youtube but we really need your help , thx bro
Just brilliant Nick, thank you! And your teaching manner would have to be one of the best on TH-cam! I "only had to do" a simple (!?) POST and GET via our C# Server application to/from an IoT "Things Board". Wasted most of the weekend (it's now 5:00am Monday in Aus.) going round in circles until I found your link: Solved in less than 1hr😀 Bonus: I now understand exactly what is happening; not just a blind cut-and-paste.
Man... You just saved me... I'm here the whole day at that dumb part of the code just for get a simply json back from a API. The more I learn other programming languages, more I love Python... Sorry for that. But thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the video was helpful to you. If you have any other topics you'd like me to cover, let me know!
Im not sure if you are still checking the comments on this but I saw somewhere else someone talking about not putting your HTTP client in a using statement cause "it isn't the kind of object you want to instanciate a lot" but you are saying that you should. Could you elaborate if one of these ways is better
Hi, tks for video...I would like a question. If Post Class has three property(Title, Body and UserId), what represents "id":101? { "Title": "Test Post", "Body": "Hello World!", "UserId": 44, "id": 101 } Tks for answers...
That was a really great explanation, thank you! I have struggled with this for a while and I am currently working on a student project to write a simple client / server application using http protocol but instead of serving to a url / web client I am just updating an object in a local datastore. Is it possible to adapt this tutorial to suit those needs? And if so, would you consider adding some examples of that to this project? Thanks again
Hi! Thanks for the kind feedback! I'm not sure I fully understand your use case. Could you provide some more detail on what you're trying to achieve? Then I could look at making something for you :)
Hi Nick Thank you for your simple but powerful explanation. I am trying to follow your code to connect with Bearer token, but don't know where to put the Token information. Can you please show me where and how to call it. Thank you again
You should be able to set the 'Authorization' property of the http client's 'DefaultRequestHeaders' as below. (Remember to either use a HttpClientFactory or static HttpClient and NOT a using statement. This prevents port exhaustion). - and obviously ensure your client is disposed of when you're finished with it 👍 var client = new HttpClient(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", "Your token");
Hi Nick. Thank you very much for the vídeo. I have a question. Looking at The string at 9 minutes in the vídeo. Let's say I want to put objects with these attributes in a list. How would I do that?
pretty neat. i am completly new to this stuff. maybe someone can help me out.. how do i split the json into seperate datas? placeholder for example gives id, titel, body and user id. how do i read the id from that json and set it as an integer in c#?
great learning. very thank you. one question about i got stuck is that how to get only id value like 101 from this return result set at 18:49 video time. plz guide.
You can use NewtonSoft Json for this with JObject.Parse. Take a look at this link. It would be JObject.Parse("id").ToString() www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/m_newtonsoft_json_linq_jobject_parse.htm
@@nickproudprogrammer thanks sir but I need it badly. I tried all youtube tutorial even in google and stack overflow. But none of them work with my code. I hope you will upload asap for my thesis project.
So everything in your lesson works for me, but when I try to reach my own endpoint it results in an error 400, but the demo automatically generated with swagger works, wtf
@@nickproudprogrammer Unfortunatly, I don't have any documentation about it. But I have managed to solve it. I have used the Dictionary and it worked. Thank you again
Hello Nick, amazing tutorial. Yet I'm getting the following result response: Id = 19, Status = WaitingForActivation, Method = "{null}", Result = "{Not yet computed}" Any clues on the solution of that?
You should be able to use a GET request on any url to get the html content. Then you could use something like the HTMLAgilityPack to parse the returned HTML html-agility-pack.net/
@@judgedev2789It's tricky with google, because http requests usually end up being shown the initial 'consent' window. You may want to look into an RPA solution like UIPath to automate getting through the google search page and then scraping the html
Use the System.IO namespace to read the json file as text. System.IO.File.ReadAllText(yourFilePath) Then use that text as the payload with Content-Type set to 'application/json'
Although HttpClient implements IDisposable you SHOULD NOT wrap it within an Using statement. In fact, it is extremely BAD practice to do this as connections aren’t released straight away which can cause network exhaustion and DNS issues when called in high volumes. The correct way to use HttpClient is reusing it with HttpClientFactory. It saddens me that so many programmers do not know how to use HttpClient properly and why it shouldn’t follow the IDisposable pattern. What’s worst are people commenting that it’s a great video, implement it and unaware that it’s incorrect and bad practice.
If you wanted to run the method synchronously, then you'd use .Result like I did, and really, this was just for the video to keep my code running easily for debug. In practice, I would use await by default.
HI it worked well many thanks for this video but my code shows an error System.Net.WebExceptiom. The remote server returned an error. I think it needs the code username and password? cus my API has a username & password can u do a video of it or provide the source code pls?

I am working on something new and am using your POST method but I am getting the error back {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."} I am trying to send a POST request to get a bearer token back. and the javascript they sent me looks as follows; any suggestions? also under my headers in postman for KEY: Authorization it then has VALUE: Basic kdfjjsdfASDFASD34234DASd== So am not sure how I would send that Basic Auth to return the client_credentials pm.sendRequest( { "url": `${base_url}/quote/auth`, "method": 'POST', "header": { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": `Basic ${btoa(basic_auth_cred)}`, }, "body": { "mode": "raw", "raw": JSON.stringify({ "auth_type": "client_credentials", }), } }, function (err, response) { const response_data = response.json(); if (response_data.access_token === undefined) { throw new Error("No access token recieved."); } pm.request.headers.add({ name: "Authorization", key: "Authorization", value: `Bearer ${response_data.access_token}`, }); } );
