Hi @Suresh S
You could use this way to call rest api and you could use DefaultCredentials to authenticate.

 string url = "http://sp/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/Document/Folder1')/files?$expand=ListItemAllFields";  
 HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);  
 webRequest.AuthenticationLevel = System.Net.Security.AuthenticationLevel.MutualAuthRequested;  
 webRequest.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;  
 webRequest.Method = "GET";  
 Stream response = webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();  
 StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response);
