Can you please tell me how to insert links into your c# program

Question

I am, one might say, a beginner in c# (I am currently on cycles) and I would like to diversify my work somehow. For example, to use some data from the site in the code. For example, a user writes a time or a date or a dollar exchange rate and my program gives him this data. How can this be done and how difficult is it? If anything, I write code in Visual Studio, where everything is displayed on the console.

Answer 1

Ok now I get it. You are looking for HttpClient. It's pretty well documented in the Microsoft documentation. And there are a lot of tutorials on google. I'm sure you find the informations now with the hint what exactly you need to search for.

Keep in mind that HttpClient is not working on sololearn. You need to try it on your own machine.
For a small sample you can take a look at this sololearn code though:

Answer 3

I've read your question multiple times and honestly still don't know what you are even asking.

Answer 4

This link explains it a little better. But it can still confusion depending your knowledge of C#. Save a bookmark or make a code with the links. For when you complete the C# course.

Answer 7

Alex For example, if i write a link of image or link of website in my code so my code give all information from this link

Answer 8

Although it's fun (and sometimes also very convenient for work) I wouldn't start with a webscraper. Have a look at APIs. These can also be accessed by http requests, but return a result in an easy to work with format like json or plain strings.

Here is a list of public APIs. (But ignore the ones that need any form of authentication for now) https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis

And I'd also suggest to complete the C# course, as understanding of the basics is essential for working with api calls. As Chris Coder already mentioned you should also have a basic knowledge of html if you want to build a webscraper.

Answer 10

Chris Coder Yes, that's what I meant, thank you. But I don't really understand the information provided on the website you gave me. I think I'm still a long way from web scraping.

Answer 11

Alex I looked at the code, it turns out it's not that difficult, thank you very much for the answer.

Answer 12

Chris Coder thanks!
