Calling a Web Api from a WCF client

Hi @leo del ciello,

Maybe you could try using HttpClient, like you would in any .NET application.

For example:

var client = new HttpClient();
//Api Base address
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("*****");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
//Sending a GET request to endpoint api/products/1
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("api/person/1");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    //Getting the result and mapping to a Product object
    Person person = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<Person>();
}

Hello Lan thanks for answering.

This is what my general client is doing, basically creating a HttpClient and sending a post.

What I am doing now is reading the url, jwt token and a couple other headers from an external file (whose strcture I posted above) , to be able to reuse this client for a number of different web services.

The problem is that I would like to remove these parameters from this external file (and remove the external file itself) and put them in another standard position : I was thinking about the web.config file, but the appSettings collection doesn't help much since it has a "flat" structure (key, value) and , unless I accept doing something really dirty , I am not able to store a two or three level configuration inside it. At least as far as I know. Is there any clean way to do it on the web.config file ?
