Xamarin.Forms Send Data To API as application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I want to send the data to an api as x-www-form-urlencoded not as json. I usually send the data as json using newtonsoft.json nuget package, I searched but did not find any solution. Thansks in advance

Solution

  • You can send string data and the content-type set to x-www-form-urlencoded

    using(var content=new StringContent())
{
    content.Headers.Remove("Content-Type");
    content.Headers.Add("Content-Type","x-www-form-urlencoded");
}

    If your parameters is username and password you can do this:

    string param="username=admin&password=123456";
var content=new StringContent(param,Encoding.UTF8,"x-www-form-urlencoded");
var client=new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress="https://localhost";
await client.PostAsync("/api/login",content);
