How to perform a get request with RestSharp? - windows-phone-7

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a GET request using RestSharp on Windows Phone 7. All of the examples show making a POST request, but I just need GET. How do I do this?

Answer 1

GET is the default method used by RestSharp, so if you don't specify a method, it will use GET:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
var request = new RestRequest("api");
client.ExecuteAsync(request, response => {
// do something with the response
});
This code will make a GET request to http://example.com/api. If you need to add URL parameters you can do this:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
var request = new RestRequest("api");
request.AddParameter("foo", "bar");
Which translates to http://example.com/api?foo=bar

What you're looking for is located here.
The code snippet that covers your scenario is below (request.Method should be set to Method.GET):
public void GetLabelFeed(string label, Action<Model.Feed> success, Action<string> failure)
{
string resource = "reader/api/0/stream/contents/user/-/label/" + label;
var request = GetBaseRequest();
request.Resource = resource;
request.Method = Method.GET;
request.AddParameter("n", 20); //number to return
_client.ExecuteAsync<Model.Feed>(request, (response) =>
{
if (response.ResponseStatus == ResponseStatus.Error)
{
failure(response.ErrorMessage);
}
else
{
success(response.Data);
}
});
}
