What is the idiomatic way to make a get request using RestSharp?

I'm trying to make a GET request to a REST api which returns a JSON. This is what I have right now:

RestClient client = new RestClient(BASE_URL);
var request = new RestRequest(CONTROLLER_PATH);
var response = await client.GetAsync<MyDtoClass[]>(request);

When this code executes, response is an array of MyDtoClass but the fields in each element of the array are null. If instead, I run this code (I removed the generic):

RestClient client = new RestClient(BASE_URL);
var request = new RestRequest(CONTROLLER_PATH);
var response = await client.GetAsync(request);

then response is a string represintation of the JSON that BASE_URL + CONTROLLER_PATH returns (nothing is null).

What is the idiomatic way to make a request to this REST api and convert the response into an array of MyDtoClass. Also, if anyone has suggestions for a library you think is better then RestSharp, please share.

Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • The issue was that MyDtoClass had fields instead of properties.
