Code to be written once

Hey Ramco,

you have already mentioned Root class in your question. Use the same Root class.

Hi Sachin

 ON below line i am getting error - Using the generic type JsonResult requires 1 type arguments

public JsonResult GetCourier(string token, Int32 origin, Int32 destination,string PaymentType,Int32 OrderAmount)

Thanks

Hi Amit

  What is Root. How it is to be used.

Thanks

Typically you need to follow a few things here, such as 

ExternalInterface Library => ( This is the gateway to connect the external system)

• Here you have the option to create API Request and Response
• WCF Service Proxies
• Web Services

Under the API Folder, you have to create Response and Request. The request is the one which will till this part 

 var client = new RestClient(input parameter);
        client.Timeout = -1;
        var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
        request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); // input parameter may be json or xml
        request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token); // input parameter

        request.AddParameter("origin", txtWeight.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody); // input param
        request.AddParameter("destination", txtLength.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody); // inmput param


        request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");

once done Get the Response

public GetResponse(request){
        IRestResponse response0 = client.Execute(request);
        Format Required format response 
}

 one more function to format as per the required format response 

 

Finally call this library and method from source , you can reuse this anywhere even for calling other api / wcf/ web service

Hi,

You can create a function to re-use same code. Please check below code example.

        public RestResponse GetResponse(string token, string endPointUrl, Dictionary parameters)
        {
            var client = new RestClient(endPointUrl);
            var request = new RestRequest
            {
                Method = Method.Get,
                Timeout = -1
            };
            request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
            request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);

            foreach (var parameter in parameters)
            {
                request.AddParameter(parameter.Key, parameter.Value, ParameterType.RequestBody);
            }

            request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
            return client.Execute(request);
        }

And this function you can call like in below code

                var parameters = new Dictionary();
                parameters.Add("origin", txtWeight.Text);
                parameters.Add("destination", txtLength.Text);

                Root root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(GetResponse("your-token","your-endpoint-url",parameters).Content);
                foreach (var item in root.data)
                {
                    ddlCourier.Items.Add(new ListItem(item.name, item.id));
                }

You shouldn't return/add ddlcourier from a common method, rather do this

public JsonResult GetCourier(string token)
{
    var client = new RestClient("htts://api.nimbuspost.com/v1/courier");
    client.Timeout = -1;
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
    request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);

    request.AddParameter("origin", txtWeight.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody);
    request.AddParameter("destination", txtLength.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody);


    request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
    IRestResponse response0 = client.Execute(request);

    Root root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response0.Content);
    return Json(new {status=root.status, response=root});
}

try this

private static List GetCourier(string token, string origin, string destination)
{
    try
    {
        var client = new RestClient("htts://api.nimbuspost.com/v1/courier");
        client.Timeout = -1;
        var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
        request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);
        request.AddParameter("origin", origin, ParameterType.RequestBody);
        request.AddParameter("destination", destination, ParameterType.RequestBody);
        request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
        IRestResponse response0 = client.Execute(request);

        if (response0.IsSuccessful)
        {
            var dropdownLists = new List();
            Root root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response0.Content);
            foreach (var item in root.data)
            {
                var dropdownList = new DropdownList()
                {
                    id = item.id,
                    name = item.name
                };
                dropdownLists.Add(dropdownList);
            }
            return dropdownLists;
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Failed. Code : {0}", response0.StatusCode));
            return new List();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.Write(ex.Message + "
CreateToken");
        return new List();
    }
}

Dropdownlist class

public class DropdownList
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
}

uses

var result = GetCourier("your token", txtWeight.Text, txtLength.Text);
ddlCourier.DataSource = result;
ddlCourier.DataBind();

Hi

  Sorry Sachin. I want for this below part . Parameters (Origin & Destination) should be passed & then Json result should be returned

try
{
    var client = new RestClient("htts://api.nimbuspost.com/v1/courier");
    client.Timeout = -1;
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
    request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);

    request.AddParameter("origin", txtWeight.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody);
    request.AddParameter("destination", txtLength.Text, ParameterType.RequestBody);


    request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
    IRestResponse response0 = client.Execute(request);

    Root root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response0.Content);
    foreach (var item in root.data)
    {
        ddlCourier.Items.Add(new ListItem(item.name, item.id));
    }
}

Thanks

make the method public and return JsonResult instead

public JsonResult GetCourier(string token)
{
  return Json(new {status=status, response=JsonConvert.Deserialize(yourObject)});
}
