Parsing from json to object using FLURL

问题

I'm using FLURL to get a JSON response from the TVDB api.

I have this class(dumbed down for now, just trying to get the seriesNames):

public class Show
{
    public string seriesName;
}

And I'm using FLURL like this:

dynamic test = await "https://api.thetvdb.com/search/series?name=battlestar"
            .WithHeader("Accept", "application/json")
            .WithHeader("Authorization", " Bearer " + token.token)                
            .GetAsync()                
            .ReceiveJson<List<Show>>();

I'm guessing it doesn't map the JSON to the object correctly because of the "data" key in the JSON or maybe it can't parse it straight into a List<>? I'm not sure how to map this. The result I want would be a List<Show> with the Shows containing seriesName = "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome", seriesName = "Battlestar Galactica (2003)", etc, etc.

EDIT: This is in ex.Message:

Request to https://api.thetvdb.com/search/series?name=battlestar failed. Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[TVDBapi.ShowData]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'data', line 2, position 9.

回答1:

The JSON you have posted isn't an array of data, it has a property called data that is the array. This means your object to deserialise to is not quite right. You should try this:

public class ShowData
{
    public List<Show> data { get; set; }
}

public class Show
{
    public string[] aliases { get; set; }
    public string banner { get; set; }
    public string firstAired { get; set; }
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string network { get; set; }
    public string overview { get; set; }
    public string seriesName { get; set; }
    public string status { get; set; }
}

And then deserialise like this:

....ReceiveJson<ShowData>();
