Return Data from Task<IRestResponse>

Question

how can I return my return await response.StatusCode;?

Here is the code....

public async Task<IRestResponse> HitAPI(JsonData jsonSend) {  
    var client = new RestClient("");  
    var request = new RestRequest("", Method.Post):  
    request.AddParameter("application/json; charset=utf-8", jsonSend, ParameterType.RequestBody);  
    request.RequestFormat.= DataFormat.Json;  
      
    client.ExecuteAsync(request, response =>  
    {  
      if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Ok)  
      {  
        //it work  
      }  
      else  
      {  
        //no work  
      }  
    });  
    return await response.StatusCode;  
      
    }

besides all the coding errors, StatusCode is a string, and the methods return an IRestResponse

as you are using callback rather than await, chenter code hereange the code to:

public async Task<IRestResponse> HitAPI(JsonData jsonSend) {  
     var client = new RestClient("");  
     var request = new RestRequest("", Method.Post):  
     request.AddParameter("application/json; charset=utf-8", jsonSend, ParameterType.RequestBody);  
     request.RequestFormat.= DataFormat.Json;  
          
     return client.ExecuteAsync<IRestResponse>(request, response =>  
     {  
       if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Ok)  
       {  
         //it work  
         return new SomeRestResponse  
         {  
              ....  
         }  
       }  
       else  
       {  
         //no work  
         return new FailedRestResponse  
         {  
              ....  
         }  
       }  
     });  
}  

but using await would be cleaner:

    public async Task<IRestResponse> HitAPI(JsonData jsonSend) {  
         var client = new RestClient("");  
         var request = new RestRequest("", Method.Post):  
         request.AddParameter("application/json; charset=utf-8", jsonSend, ParameterType.RequestBody);  
         request.RequestFormat.= DataFormat.Json;  
              
         var response = await client.ExecuteAsync<IRestResponse>(request);  
         if (response.StatusCode != System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Ok)  
         {   
             //no work   
             return new FailedRestResponse  
             {  
                  ....  
             }  
        }  
  
        //it work  
        return new SomeRestResponse  
        {  
                  ....  
        }  
  
    }  

where SomeRestResponse and FailedRestResponse are implementations of IRestResponse
