RestSharp JSON Parameter Posting
I am trying to make a very basic REST call to my MVC 3 API and the parameters I pass in are not binding to the action method.
Client
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.Resource = "Api/Score";
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
request.AddBody(request.JsonSerializer.Serialize(new { A = "foo", B = "bar" }));
RestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
Server
public class ScoreInputModel
{
public string A { get; set; }
public string B { get; set; }
}
// Api/Score
public JsonResult Score(ScoreInputModel input)
{
// input.A and input.B are empty when called with RestSharp
}
Am I missing something here?
You don't have to serialize the body yourself. Just do
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
request.AddJsonBody(new { A = "foo", B = "bar" }); // Anonymous type object is converted to Json body
If you just want POST params instead (which would still map to your model and is a lot more efficient since there's no serialization to JSON) do this:
request.AddParameter("A", "foo");
request.AddParameter("B", "bar");
In the current version of RestSharp (105.2.3.0) you can add a JSON object to the request body with:
request.AddJsonBody(new { A = "foo", B = "bar" });
This method sets content type to application/json and serializes the object to a JSON string.
