Example calling a REST API

You start by new'ing up the RestClient and passing in the base uri for your RESTful API.

For example if your wanted to perform a GET on https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1 you would do the following:

Static Typed Rest Client

For the Static typed Rest Client just pass a string representing the resource you want access to the Resource method, and then call the HTTP method you want to use.

var client = new RestClient("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com");

User user = await client.Resource("users/1").Get();
   
Console.WriteLine(user.Name);

Dynamicaly Typed Rest Client

For the Dynamicaly typed Rest Client chain members that would make up the resource you want to access - ending with the HTTP method you want to use.

dynamic client = new RestClient("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com");

var user = await client.Users(1).Get();
   
Console.WriteLine(user.name);

Note all HTTP methods are async

About

RestClient is a very lightweight wrapper around System.Net.HttpClient that uses the dynamic features of .NET 4 to provide a fluent way of accessing RESTFul API's, making it trivial to create REST requests using a lot less code.

Originally created to remove the boilerplate code involved in making REST requests using code that is testable. I know there are a couple of REST clients out there but I wanted the syntax to look a particular way with minimal fuss.

RestClient is biased towards posting and returning JSON - if you don't provide Accept and Content-Type headers then they are set to application/json by default See Working with non JSON content.
