I am trying to post data to a json api.
this is how my code looks. It's returning an error from the server, the
guys up there are telling me that i'm sending everything as a json
string and that i should post params of which only one parameter is a
JSON stirng. ie. contact_attributes which should contain a string like
the one below:
"{\"name\":\"Leigh\",\"surname\":\"Duddy\",\"passport_number\":\"
00000020\",\"unique_identifier\":\"7353280000000020\",\"msisdn\":
\"27829042259\",\"bank_account_number\":null,\"bank_account_br
anch_code\":null,\"bank_account_branch_name\":null,\"bank_detai
ls_required\":false,\"membership_number\":null,\"bank_account_b
ank_id\":null,\"bank_account_account_type_id\":null,\"bank_accou
nt_initials\":null,\"bank_account_surname\":null,\"bank_account_p
assport_number\":null,\"date_of_birth\":null,\"debit_day\":null,\"con
tract_sale_date\":null,\"contract_start_date\":null}"
I am totally confused, does anyone know how i can do this.
public class JsonSaleData
{
[DataMember]
public string contact_attributes { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string campaign_uuid = "9d119cce-25ea-46bc-b7bc-cba7e8323e91";
[DataMember]
public string user_credentials = "OCPdNbeltviij8C1RLcf";
[DataMember]
public string license_id = "1";
}
private string PostSaleToClient(string url, JsonSaleData _SaleData)
{
string strResult = "";
try
{
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
System.Net.HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(JsonSaleData));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
ser.WriteObject(ms, _SaleData);
ms.Position = 0;
String json = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray());
StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream());
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
System.Net.HttpWebResponse httpWebResp = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpWebResp.GetResponseStream()))
{
strResult = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
return strResult;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string e = ex.Message;
}
return strResult;
}
