Using RestSharp to make an API insert call

Imports event is for adding "using" directives of libraries that are a part of core .NET package. If you need to use a third party DLL in your project check a link at the end of this article:

Thanks Admin!

I have added the RestSharp.dll ( and also NewtonSoftJson.dll and System.Net.Http which it also needs) to custom/bin/ directory.

I have placed the following lines in the custom c# file
using RestSharp;
using System.Net.Http;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

And am almost there, but on building getting the following error messages

Classes\XVar.cs(172,13): error CS0012: The type 'System.Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Private.CoreLib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e'. [C:\projects_v3\emailsendv112\output\emailsendv112.csproj]
include\tasklist_TableEvents.cs(43,1): error CS0012: The type 'System.IDisposable' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'. [C:\projects_v3\emailsendv112\output\emailsendv112.csproj]

... and some others of the same nature. I cannot find any documentation as to adding references to assemblies in asprunner... where do I do that? I am building with visual studio 2019 and framework 4.8.

Many thanks....

Did this ever get resolved? I will be needing to do this as well.

In our tests it works right out of the box.

Yes, I did get it to work, but using Newtonsoft and not RestSharp

1. Right or wrong make c# directory ( at bottom of events tab) look like this:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

2. .In 'styles' tab, scroll to the very bottom and under 'custom files' create a directory called 'bin' if one doesnt exist already.
   .....right click bin and import Newtonsoft.json.dll (which you can google to find a copy of).

   
   

3. I have edited this block of code, so it is now more complete - it performs a api get request, retrieves a json, parses it, does some processing and then does a confirmatory api post to confirm safe receipt for example. I have removed the code concerning processing, so just the structure remains.

   
   

Bottom line is it does compile and work, and perhaps might be useful as a basis for you.

string baseUrl = "https://xxxx.co.uk/api/v1/customers/test1";
// Constructing URL parameters
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(baseUrl);
var query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uriBuilder.Query);
// Add parameters
query["q1"] = datalocationlist["q1"];
query["createdFrom"] = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");
query["limit"] = "100";
query["offset"] = "0";
// Set the updated query string
uriBuilder.Query = query.ToString();
// Final URL
url = uriBuilder.ToString();
myReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
myReq.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic xxxxxx";
myReq.Accept = "/";
myReq.UserAgent = "YourAppName/1.0";

try {
using(WebResponse wr = myReq.GetResponse()) using(
Stream responseStream =
wr.GetResponseStream()) using(StreamReader reader =
new StreamReader(responseStream)) {
// Read the response content
string responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd();

}
catch (WebException ex) {
// Handle exceptions, e.g., network errors
HttpWebResponse httpResponse = ex.Response as HttpWebResponse;
if (httpResponse != null) {
}
}
