我们已经开始使用地下酒吧了。这很棒:

https://github.com/jonnii/SpeakEasy

// create a client
var client = HttpClient.Create("http://example.com/api");
    
// get some companies!
var companies = client.Get("companies").OnOk().As<List<Company>>();
  
// upload a company, with validation error support
client.Post(company, "companies")
    .On(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, (List<ValidationError> errors) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Ruh Roh, you have {0} validation errors", errors.Count());
    })
    .On(HttpStatusCode.Created, () => Console.WriteLine("Holy moly you win!"));
    
// update a company
client.Put(company, "company/:id", new { id = "awesome-sauce" })
    .OnOk(() => Console.WriteLine("Company updated"));
        
// run a search
client.Get("images/:category", new { category = "cats", breed = "omg the cutest", size = "kittens" })
    .OnOk().As<List<Image>>();
    
// make an asynchronous request
var response = await client.GetAsync("companies/:id", new { id = 5 })
response.OnOk(UpdateCompaniesCallback)

GET:

// GET JSON Response
public WeatherResponseModel GET(string url) {
    WeatherResponseModel model = new WeatherResponseModel();
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    try {
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        using(Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream()) {
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
            model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject < WeatherResponseModel > (reader.ReadToEnd());
        }
    } catch (WebException ex) {
        WebResponse errorResponse = ex.Response;
        using(Stream responseStream = errorResponse.GetResponseStream()) {
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8"));
            String errorText = reader.ReadToEnd();
            // Log errorText
        }
        throw;
    }
    return model;
}

职位:

// POST a JSON string
void POST(string url, string jsonContent) {
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    request.Method = "POST";

    System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
    Byte[]byteArray = encoding.GetBytes(jsonContent);

    request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
    request.ContentType =  @ "application/json";

    using(Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream()) {
        dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
    }

    long length = 0;
    try {
        using(HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {
            // Got response
            length = response.ContentLength;
        }
    } catch (WebException ex) {
        WebResponse errorResponse = ex.Response;
        using(Stream responseStream = errorResponse.GetResponseStream()) {
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8"));
            String errorText = reader.ReadToEnd();
            // Log errorText
        }
        throw;
    }
}

注意:为了序列化和反序列化JSON，我使用了Newtonsoft。Json NuGet包。

ASP。NET Web API已经取代了前面提到的WCF Web API。

我想我应该发布一个更新的答案，因为这些回答大部分来自2012年初，当在谷歌上搜索“调用基于rest的服务c#”时，这个帖子是排名靠前的结果之一。

目前微软的指导方针是使用微软ASP。NET Web API客户端库来使用RESTful服务。这是一个NuGet包，Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client。您需要将这个NuGet包添加到您的解决方案中。

下面是使用ASP实现示例时的外观。NET Web API客户端库:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;

namespace ConsoleProgram
{
    public class DataObject
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    public class Class1
    {
        private const string URL = "https://sub.domain.com/objects.json";
        private string urlParameters = "?api_key=123";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);

            // Add an Accept header for JSON format.
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
            new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            // List data response.
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result;  // Blocking call! Program will wait here until a response is received or a timeout occurs.
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                // Parse the response body.
                var dataObjects = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<DataObject>>().Result;  //Make sure to add a reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll
                foreach (var d in dataObjects)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", d.Name);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", (int)response.StatusCode, response.ReasonPhrase);
            }

            // Make any other calls using HttpClient here.

            // Dispose once all HttpClient calls are complete. This is not necessary if the containing object will be disposed of; for example in this case the HttpClient instance will be disposed automatically when the application terminates so the following call is superfluous.
            client.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

如果您计划发出多个请求，您应该重用HttpClient实例。请参阅这个问题及其答案，以了解为什么在这种情况下没有在HttpClient实例上使用using语句的更多细节:HttpClient和HttpClientHandler必须在请求之间被处理吗?

有关更多细节，包括其他示例，请参见从。net客户端调用Web API (c#)

这篇博客文章也可能有用:使用HttpClient消费ASP。NET Web API REST服务

我使用Web API 2.0以这种简单的方式做到了这一点。您可以删除UseDefaultCredentials。我在自己的用例中使用了它。

List<YourObject> listObjects = new List<YourObject>();

string response = "";
using (var client = new WebClient() { UseDefaultCredentials = true })
{
     response = client.DownloadString(apiUrl);
}

listObjects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<YourObject>>(response);
return listObjects;

我们已经开始使用地下酒吧了。这很棒:

// create a client
var client = HttpClient.Create("http://example.com/api");
    
// get some companies!
var companies = client.Get("companies").OnOk().As<List<Company>>();
  
// upload a company, with validation error support
client.Post(company, "companies")
    .On(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, (List<ValidationError> errors) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Ruh Roh, you have {0} validation errors", errors.Count());
    })
    .On(HttpStatusCode.Created, () => Console.WriteLine("Holy moly you win!"));
    
// update a company
client.Put(company, "company/:id", new { id = "awesome-sauce" })
    .OnOk(() => Console.WriteLine("Company updated"));
        
// run a search
client.Get("images/:category", new { category = "cats", breed = "omg the cutest", size = "kittens" })
    .OnOk().As<List<Image>>();
    
// make an asynchronous request
var response = await client.GetAsync("companies/:id", new { id = 5 })
response.OnOk(UpdateCompaniesCallback)

在使用。net 4.5或。net Core时调用REST API

我推荐DalSoft。RestClient(注意:是我创建的)。原因是，因为它使用动态类型，您可以在一个流畅的调用中包装所有内容，包括序列化/反序列化。下面是一个工作的PUT示例:

dynamic client = new RestClient("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com");

var post = new Post { title = "foo", body = "bar", userId = 10 };

var result = await client.Posts(1).Put(post);
