C#调用RESTful API

如今非常多的网络服务都用RESTful API来实现。

比方百度的搜索推广API介绍使用Rest原因：REST+JSON风格的API相比SOAP+XML，优点是：调用更加灵活。也更easy扩展；JSON格式传输信息比XML降低约30%的数据量，效率更高。因此建议开发人员使用REST风格的API。

查找了非常多调用Rest API网络碎片资料，总是无法理解或者生效。

以下摘一点认为有效果的作为參考吧。

利用该文中Post方法来调用百度搜索推广的API。尽管代码乱。可是总算成功了，以下即是代码：

        public static void send()
        {
            string url = "https://api.baidu.com/json/sms/v3/AccountService/getAccountInfo";
            HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
            request.Method = "POST";
            request.ContentType = "application/json";
            string data = "{
"header": {
"token": "30xxx6aaxxx93ac8cxx8668xx39xxxx",
"username": "jdads",
"password": "liuqiangdong2010",
"action": ""
},
"body": {}
}";

            byte[] byteData = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString());
            request.ContentLength = byteData.Length;

            using(Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream())
            {
                postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length);
            }

            using(HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
            {
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
                Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
            }
        }

通过执行，发现json数据部分。当之前没有换行符的时候。使用@表示字符串并双引號用两个来表示时。会报数据错误。

附上链接的文章的几种调用方式：
1、以Get方式获取

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;

// Create the web request
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://developer.yahoo.com/") as HttpWebRequest;

// Get response
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
// Get the response stream
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

// Console application output
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
}

2、以Post方式获取

using System.Web;

Uri address = new Uri("http://api.search.yahoo.com/ContentAnalysisService/V1/termExtraction");

// Create the web request
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address) as HttpWebRequest;

// Set type to POST
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

// Create the data we want to send
string appId = "YahooDemo";
string context = "Italian sculptors and painters of the renaissance"
