Hello I want to run push app center from its api. But I don't know how to make the proper format.

I want to postasync from this api: https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/KacangIjo/ShopDiaryApp/push/notifications

What it needs for Headers is:
X-API-Token ="{api token}" and Content Type="application/json"

For the body(content) I want to put this:

{

    "notification_content" : {

        "name" : "Campaign Name",

        "title" : "Expired Warning",

        "body" : "You have items that almost expired"

    }

}

I have difficulties how to write in the correct format for HttpClient.
I tried this and no work..

Content = new Content

{

   Name = "Campaign Name",

   Title = "Expired Warning",

   Body = "You have items that almost expired"

};

using (var client = new HttpClient { Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) })

{

   var myContent = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);

   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Token", "{my api token}");

   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new 

   MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

   var builder = new UriBuilder(new Uri("https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/KacangIjo/ShopDiaryApp/push/notifications"));

   HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(builder.Uri, content);

};

But I know this is code:

 {

        "notification_content" : {

            "name" : "Campaign Name",

            "title" : "Expired Warning",

            "body" : "You have items that almost expired"

        }

    }

is not same with this to convert the json format:

Content = new Content

{

    Name = "Campaign Name",

    Title = "Expired Warning",

    Body = "You have items that almost expired"

};

Can help me with the correct Serialize Json Format? and the correct format of httpclient header and body?
I already found lot of sample but still no clue with the one that I want.
Really appreciate your help guys :)

You need to structure your objects similar to your required JSON.

Create classes like below.

public class NotificationContent

{

    [JsonProperty("name")]

    public string Name { get; set; }



    [JsonProperty("title")]

    public string Title { get; set; }



    [JsonProperty("body")]

    public string Body { get; set; }

}



public class PostObject

{

    [JsonProperty("notification_content")]

    public NotificationContent NotificationContent { get; set; }

}

Above is the right structure, now when you will call JsonConvert.SerializeObject, your json will be

 {

    "notification_content" : {

        "name" : "Campaign Name",

        "title" : "Expired Warning",

        "body" : "You have items that almost expired"

    }

} 

Below is the code for http call

using (var client = new HttpClient { Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) })

    {

        PostObject postObject = new PostObject

        {

            NotificationContent = new NotificationContent

            {

                Name = "Campaign Name",

                Title = "Expired Warning",

                Body = "You have items that almost expired"

            }

        };



        var myContent = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(postObject);

        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Token", "{my api token}");

        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));



        var builder = new UriBuilder(new Uri("https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/KacangIjo/ShopDiaryApp/push/notifications"));



        HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, builder.Uri);

        request.Content = new StringContent(myContent, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header



        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(request);

    };
