I need to pass a JSON Array of objects, here's an example of what it should look like in JSON:
"categories": [
{
"id": 9
},
{
"id": 14
}
],
I can't figure out how to get it done by myself, I tried using Restsharp's request.AddBody()
and request.AddParameter()
but it didn't get me anywhere =/
var request = new RestRequest();
request.AddParameter("name", name);
// Category
request.AddParameter("categories", "categories here");
var response = client.Post(request);
If I understand it right you want to post a JSON Array. If you don't want to form a JSON string manually the easiest way is to use Newtonsoft.Json
Here is an example to you:
List<int> data = new List<int>() // This is your array
string JsonData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
StringContent content = new StringContent(JsonData, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpResponseMessage result = await client.PostAsync("your adress", content);
This is the easy way to make a POST request to a server.
To read the response you can use:
string answer = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
This should work:
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json; // Important
var input = new Dictionary<string, object>();
// cats can be an array on real objects too
var cats = new[] {new {id = 9}, new {id = 14}};
input.Add("categories", cats);
request.AddBody(input);
