public NetworkService()
{
_httpClient = new HttpClient();
}
public async Task<string> GetDataFromApiAsync(string url)
{
try
{
HttpResponseMessage response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(url);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // Throws if response is not 2xx
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return responseBody;
}
catch (HttpRequestException e)
{
Console.WriteLine($"\nException Caught!");
Console.WriteLine($"Message :{0} ", e.Message);
