• How to do in asp.net project as webhook to receive json data from another web api

Answer 1

This is total code :

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        string FileContent = "";
        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Request.InputStream))
        {
            FileContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
        }
         AfterShip model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AfterShip>(FileContent);

     }

Answer 2

You can access it as an input stream

string FileContent = "";
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Request.InputStream))
{
   FileContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
}

And serialize the content received.

Answer 3

Try this - you'll need to add authorization headers if required:

using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
    try
    {
        var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(url);

        if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            var responseContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            ObjectThatRepresentsYourJson objectThatRepresentsYourJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ObjectThatRepresentsYourJson>(responseContent);
        }
    }
}
