Making a GET RequestMaking a GET Request

In terms of APIs, an endpoint is the same as a URL.

Important Points

  • We use the HttpClient class to make Get requests;
  • GetAsync is an asynchronous method and should be used as such;
  • The GetAync method returns a HttpResponseMessage object;
  • We can access the returned content using the ReadAsStringAsync method of the Content attribute from HttpResponseMessage: response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().
1. What can be used for creating a client in a C# console application?
