Import Json data from URL to SQL server

Question

I have a .Json URL that contains Json format data.

HTTPS://XXXX/fetch-transaction?fromdate=2020-10-13&toDate=2020-10-20 (Not working just an example)

[
    {
        "orderId": 110,
        "consignmentNumber": "TEST",
        "itemNumbers": [
            "TEST"
        ],
        "country": "UK",
        "orderType": "ORDER_HOME_DELIVERY",
        "paymentTransactionId": "395611",
        "priceInOre": 5900,
        "paidAt": "2020-10-16 10:51:08",
        "orderNumber": "7000067718",
        "articleName": "SOUTH-2"
    }
]

I would like to insert data into a SQL server table and wonder if it's possible to use SQL server and t-SQL directly here or should I go for VS and C#?

If C# is the preferred choice can someone pleae guide me on how I would accomplish it? I have created a Console application in Visual studio (however it might be a better solution to use something els then to create a command line applcation?) or guide me in the right direction.

You can try the following code to get the value from the json txt and transfer it to the sql server table.

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string json = File.ReadAllText("D:\\test1.txt");
            List<Example> list = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Example>>(json);
            string strcon = @"Connstr";
            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(strcon);
            connection.Open();
            string sql = "Insert into JsonData(orderId,consignmentNumber,itemNumbers,country,orderType,paymentTransactionId,priceInOre,paidAt,orderNumber,articleName) values(@orderId,@consignmentNumber,@itemNumbers,@country,@orderType,@paymentTransactionId,@priceInOre,@paidAt,@orderNumber,@articleName)";
            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection);
            foreach (Example item in list)
            {
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@orderId", item.orderId);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@consignmentNumber", item.consignmentNumber);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@itemNumbers", item.itemNumbers.First());
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@country", item.country);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@orderType", item.orderType);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@paidAt", item.paidAt);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@paymentTransactionId", item.paymentTransactionId);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@priceInOre", item.priceInOre);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@articleName", item.articleName);
                command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@orderNumber", item.orderNumber);
            }
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            connection.Close();
      
            

        }
    }
    public class Example
    {
        public int orderId { get; set; }
        public string consignmentNumber { get; set; }
        public List<string> itemNumbers { get; set; }
        public string country { get; set; }
        public string orderType { get; set; }
        public string paymentTransactionId { get; set; }
        public int priceInOre { get; set; }
        public string paidAt { get; set; }
        public string orderNumber { get; set; }
        public string articleName { get; set; }
    }

Final result:

Edit:

var json = new WebClient().DownloadString("URL");
