Common Code Snippets

Here are some common patterns and examples for using our APIs:

// Example: Making an HTTP GET request
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public async Task<string> GetDataAsync(string url)
{
    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url);
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // Throw on error
        return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    }
}

// Example: Working with JSON
using System.Text.Json;

public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public string SerializeUser(User user)
{
    return JsonSerializer.Serialize(user);
}

public User DeserializeUser(string jsonString)
