How do I call WebApi method with parameters - asp.net

Question

I have a WebApi method with 2 parameters as followed:
public IQueryable<Facilities> GetFacilityList(string baseCode, string scope)
{
return Object;
}
In my Asp.Net MVC I have the following so far:
public ActionResult FacilityGrid()
{
List<Facilities> query;
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("api/facilities");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
// Product product = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync>Product>()
}
}
}
How do I call the WebApi and pass in two parameters?

Answer 1

You could create the query string manually as suggested in the comment to your post of code or by using a class like the UriBuilder. This method seemed produce the desired response.
public async Task<ActionResult> QuetionTwoApiCall()
{
var builder = new UriBuilder("http://localhost/api/question2");
builder.Port = 50742;
var query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(builder.Query);
query["basecode"] = "somebasecode";
query["scope"] = "somescope";
builder.Query = query.ToString();
string url = builder.ToString();
using (var client = new HttpClient()) {
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri(url));
string donothing = "do nothing";
}
return RedirectToAction("QuestionTwo");
}
}
