Of course, I need to cover off the other web services practice, RESTful.
Building the API is pretty simple, using something like https://restunited.com/
Just plug in the JSON requests and let rest united generate all of the entities and clients for you!
Obviously, it is useful to have a guide that describes the RESTful service and provides examples, e.g. https://hotdocsadvance.com/api/rest/documentation/index.html
Then it is just a simple matter of calling the API from your c# code, e.g.
ServicesApi serviceAPI = new ServicesApi();
ServiceListResponse ServiceListResponse =
serviceAPI.SearchServices(headerValue, parameter1, parameter2);
List<Results> results = ServiceListResponse.Results;
There are a few tips that are useful for setting up the endpoints in rest united, that I will cover off in another post.
