How to pass JSON string to another api using RESTSharp? - asp.net-mvc

Question

Problem Specification:
Resource URI : address/index.php?r=api/employee
Request Header : Content- Type: application/json
HTTP Method: POST
Request Body: { "employeeName" : "ABC","age":"20","ContactNumber": "12341234"}
The above parameters should be passed to the system as a row HTTP POST in a JSON string.
I am trying to solve this problem using RESTSharp. But I am having some problem Like after executing the request my code return a Null response and I am not sure my JSON string is passing properly or not.
Here is my Code:
public ActionResult EmployeeInfo(Employee employee)
{
//string empName = unSubscription.employeeName.ToString();
var client = new RestClient("http://localhost:21779/");
var request = new RestRequest("api/employee ", Method.POST);
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
request.AddBody(new Employee
{
employeeName = "ABC",
age = "20",
ContactNumber = "12341234"
});
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", #"application/json");
// execute the request
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
var content = response.Content; // raw content as string
return View();
}
Is there anything wrong with my code??
And I am little bit confused about
request.AddUrlSegment("username", "Admin") and request.AddParameter("name", "value").
Basically I want to know how to utilize AdduUrlSegment() and AddParameter().
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For using request.AddUrlSegment("username", "Admin") you should define your url template properly: var request = new RestRequest("api/employee/{username} ", Method.POST);
Also you should set Content-Type
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", #"application/json");
befor adding a Body
