This is the code I have so far:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System;
using System.Net.Http;
usi
The first step is to create the helper class for the HTTP client.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace callApi.Helpers
{
public class CallApi
{
private readonly Uri BaseUrlUri;
private HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
public CallApi(string baseUrl)
{
BaseUrlUri = new Uri(baseUrl);
client.BaseAddress = BaseUrlUri;
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
}
public HttpClient getClient()
{
return client;
}
public HttpClient getClientWithBearer(string token)
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
return client;
}
}
}
Then you can use this class in your code.
This is an example of how you call the REST API without bearer using the above class.
// GET API/values
[HttpGet]
public async Task> postNoBearerAsync(string email, string password,string baseUrl, string action)
{
var request = new LoginRequest
{
email = email,
password = password
};
var callApi = new CallApi(baseUrl);
var client = callApi.getClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(action, request);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
return Ok(await response.Content.ReadAsAsync());
else
return NotFound();
}
This is an example of how you can call the REST API that require bearer.
// GET API/values
[HttpGet]
public async Task> getUseBearerAsync(string token, string baseUrl, string action)
{
var callApi = new CallApi(baseUrl);
var client = callApi.getClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(action);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return Ok(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
}
else
return NotFound();
}
You can also refer to the below repository if you want to see the working example of how it works.
