  Post request worked in Postman but would not work in C#

  Jun 14, 2020 03:38 AM|Enzyme|LINK

  I generated an API call using postman, it worked perfect in Postman, but when I copied the generated code to C# environment it show no response, no error message. below is my code

  var client = new RestClient("https://api.wallets.africa/transfer/bank/account");
  client.Timeout = -1;
  var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
  request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer xxxxxxxx ");
  request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  request.AddHeader("Cookie", "__cfduid=d1d00b54377d696360fab484b6a92bb4b1591788299");
  request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\r\n\"SecretKey\": \"xxxxxxxxx\",\r\n\"BankCode\": \"101\",\r\n\"AccountNumber\": \"Acc No\",\r\n\"AccountName\": \"Acc name\",\r\n\"TransactionReference\": \"9821358052\",\r\n\"Amount\": 600.0,\r\n\"Narration\": \"Secure Lot\"\r\n}",  ParameterType.RequestBody);
  IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

  please who knows what could be the issue.

  Did you try using postman's code snippet creator?

  When you have code working in postman, use the code snippet generator: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/sending-api-requests/generate-code-snippets/

  For its C# results, it lists the RestSharp library as needed: http://restsharp.org/

  I stated that I generated the code using Postman code creator. It worked well in postman environment but when I copied the code to c# environment it returned null and no error message.

  Did you use the ReSharp library?  Read my earlier message.

  I think I've gotten a fix, I moved the code out of local host to a remote host and it worked fine. I don't know what may cause it not run on local host.
