c# - Accessing and getting response from API call -

i checking out namecheap api , having difficulty getting started. trying access api after setting sandbox account etc , sample response in xml format:

<apiresponse status="ok" xmlns="http://api.namecheap.com/xml.response">   <errors />   <warnings />   <requestedcommand>namecheap.domains.check</requestedcommand>   <commandresponse>     <domaincheckresult domain="google.com" available="false" />   </commandresponse>   <server>web1-sandbox1</server>   <gmttimedifference>--4:00</gmttimedifference>   <executiontime>0.875</executiontime> </apiresponse> 

i know how parse xml, need little guidance how started actual request/response part of api call.

i know parameters need send, , know need api key , url, how write webrequest , webresponse part of it? or can linq provide me way achieve too?

i trying use:

webrequest req = httpwebrequest.create(url + apikey + username + command + domain); webresponse response = req.getresponse(); 

but don't see way variable response.

how can make simple api call api , response xml format can parse it?

any @ appreciated.

you need response stream associated , read it:

// stream associated response. stream receivestream = response.getresponsestream ();  streamreader readstream = new streamreader (receivestream, encoding.utf8);  console.writeline ("response stream received."); console.writeline (readstream.readtoend ());
