API response returns 0 in Postman, but -0.0 when calling from C#

Question

I'm making a call to an API using C# code.

I have an API class that has a GET method. (I admit that I got the code from a colleague and have just adapted it).

The ProcessRequest method takes the response from the WebRequest and stores it in a variable called feed

When I use the text visualizer to see what is coming back, then I see the item key-value pair has a -0.0 value.

This unfortunately gives an error when I use Newtonsoft to deserialise into a class that I have defined as this field should be an integer. NOTE: THE ERROR NEWTONSOFT RETURNS IS IRRELEVANT TO ME AT THIS POINT

When I call the API using Postman, this is the result I get back ...

You can see that the last KVP returns an integer value, which is what is expected.

Does anyone have any idea of why I am getting a different response in my C# code than I am from Postman, and what I can do about it?

Summary:- C# returns me a -0.0 in the value of that Key-Value pair Postman returns me a 0 in the value of that Key-Value pair

I'm unable to post a working code sample that hits the API as the API is a pay-for service.

Answer 1

Postman will prettify the result.

Clicking the Raw button, shows the -0.0 value coming back from the API provider, just as the C# code hinted at.
