C# Json Jira

Question

Hi All,

I'm using Jira API to pull date from Jira and populate on Excel

Problem - I'm not to deserialize the response

I used this to create the response object
https://json2csharp.com/

Verified Json using this http://json.parser.online.fr/

can comeone please help me with a reference link or sample code

 private static async Task SearchJira()
        {
            try
            {
                string apiUrl = @"https://URL/rest/api/3/search?jql=project=ProjectName&maxResults=10";


                using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
                {
                    using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("GET"), apiUrl))
                    {
                        var base64authorization =
                            Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("emailId:CU2NhBYhT2Di48DA9"));
                        request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", $"Basic {base64authorization}");

                        var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);

// I can Json response in this variable 
                        var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

// How to populate the response object
var jsonContent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JiraResponse>(jsonString);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

Now I need to populate the list so that I can intern populate my excel and move forward with code...

Appreciate the help

Answer 1

It sounds like you're dealing with a collection so try:

var jsonContent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<JiraResponse>>(jsonString);

Answer 2

Hi SwatantraSingh-2674,
Please try to use string instead of var, as now it inferred the type as Task<string>.
Change var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
To

String jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();  

Or

String jsonString = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;  

Best Regards,
